Busy Couple of Days

It has been a couple of busy, happening days around here. Yesterday we hosted a fireman's hose race. Five firefighters hold on to a 50' fire house and ski and ride through a race course. It is quite fun and, sometimes, quite funny. The end guy sometimes gets just a little whip. After the race, The Luv Brothers were playing in the 6th Alley and it was an especially active apres' ski scene. I think we needed more shot skis for the firemen.

The snow was great today. As we say at The Basin, the weather was a tad bit blustery. Much of the day was overcast, but the sun popped out for one of those glorious afternoons. It made for a little bit chilly of a day, but the snow and skiing was outstanding. The forecast for Sunday looks to be sunny skies with moderate wind and temps in the 20's. Sounds like a perfect A-Basin day to me.

MGD

Just skied Groswold and Long Chute. I would not recommend it unless you are into skiing boot top powder. It was really nice. The sun sort of popped out, but it is snowing again with more in store tonight. I think Friday would be an excellent day to visit A-Basin.

West Zuma Open

It happened faster than I thought it would. West Zuma is open to the Bush Line (the ridge of sparse trees between Durrance and Schauffler). All the trails I mentioned in the last post are open and accessible from the top of Larkspur. Still snowing. Time to put my boots on.

7" + 2" + Still Snowing + Great Forecast

Yesterday the skiing was simply incredible. I was out for a couple of hours mid-day. The Spine, Slalom Slope, Lenawee Parks, all of it just beautiful. As the pictures show, it is snowing heavily right now. The forecast is continued heavy snow into Friday night with winds shifting to the Northwest, ideal for Montezuma Bowl.

Next on the list for opening is West Zuma Bowl. Although I don't know exactly when it is going to open, we are very close to seeing Black Bear, Long Chute, MGD (Max, Groswold, Durrance), Miner's Glade, Eureka, and Lower Larkspur open for the season. The ski patrol and cat drivers have been going hog wild in those areas. If all goes well, that should be open before the weekend.

Once we open that terrain you can start asking, "When is the East Wall going to open?" Not before.
