15" Today - 29" In 2 Days

Big Snow Today

It was one heck of a day. It never stopped snowing. It never stopped blowing. We did have wind closures on the Upper Mountain. Pali Lift ran until early afternoon, but we shut her down due to winds. Those skiers and riders that enjoyed Black Mountain Express all day and Pali in the morning, had an amazing time. The bumps on Standard and Lower International were fully blown in. The skiing was soft and sweet.

Tomorrow looks to be really nice. It will be breezy, but way less than today. The sun will be out. The mountain is in phenomenal shape. Saturday night, the snow train might start running again.

Big Day Ahead - This Is Good

14" New This Morning

Piling Up

It has been snowing all day and the intensity really picked up in the afternoon. It is pretty breezy. We have a few inches of snow piled up already. The forecast has been ramped up even further. The skiing is outstanding. Afternoon runs in the 3rd Alley, Face, Spine, North Glade and Standard were incredible. This is already exceptional and it is going to be way better. The next few days are going to be the kind of days you don't want to miss. It appears we are in one of those very memorable storm events. Take a deep breath. Leave home early. Drive very carefully. Don't miss this one.

This Could Be Good

So.......this storm appears to be shaping up. Starting tonight and going all the way to Friday night, the forecasts are starting to show a pretty good chance for a lot of snow. Some of you know, I am a little superstitious about getting excited from a big forecast. I am going to try and stay as calm as I can, but I am going to be watching this one very, very closely. This could be really good.

Another Fun Sunday

Good skiing everywhere I went today. The Alleys, Waterfall, The Spine, Slalom Slope, North Glade and especially The Steep Gullies. There was a perfect wind blowing and buffing out the usual places. Monday and Monday night we should see some snowfall. Later in the week, we might see even more snowfall. I think the wind has prepped us well for the coming storms. It just keeps getting better.

Blown Away

I have worked here for a while, but I never tire of how cool this place can. Today I was particularly blown away by the scene at Black Mountain Lodge. The deck was full with people having fun. The mountain was just being itself, a very cool and special place. Enjoy the pictures.
