Yesterday afternoon was pretty stormy up here and some white stuff fell out of the sky. In the base area, it was more like hail. One of the Via Ferrata guides told me it was more like snow up high. There is always the question, "Is this the last snow of last season or the first snow of the coming season?" In late August, I tend to think it is the first of the coming season. It is fun to get excited, but this snow won't last. In fact, we will have a few storms like this that don't last, but it is fun to start thinking about skiing.
