A-Basin Moonlight

Saturday night Kay and I skinned up to the top after work. It was one of those cold nights with a bright half moon and very light snow flakes falling. Really cool. Anyway, our first Moonlight Dinner is this Saturday, December 10. It is the Swiss Randonee Evening. There will be no chairlift for this one. Participants will skin, snowshoe, or hike to Black Mountain Lodge, enjoy a Chef Rybak Swiss dinner, and head down the mountain under a full moon. I am really looking forward to this one. It will be a night to remember.

(I think the moon might be "photoshopped" a little in this one)

More Terrain

We opened up a little bit more terrain today. In Dercum's Gulch, just below the bottom of the West Wall you can now take a left, ski along the top of a little ridge by "Lone Tree" and ski down "Tower 3 Pitch" coming into the top of High Noon on the West side of the top of Black Mountain Express. The snowmaker lingo for this route is "The Highline." The snowmaking piles for the new park are starting to stack up.

Late Day Light






I have to say the weather this morning was a little rough around here. It was snowing (horizontally), chilly, and breezy. After a tough start though, most of the clouds blew out, the sun popped out, the wind died down and we had a beautiful afternoon. Great early evening light on Black and Lenawee Mountains.
