East Gully Cliffs


East Gully is a short, little fun run on the far Eastern side of Lenawee Parks. It runs through a gully with trees on the left and the East Gully Cliffs on the right. Just East of the cliffs is the "Land of the Giants" on the East Wall. East Gully is another one of those "off the beaten path A-Basin treats." Lots of "Easts" on that side of the mountain.

It Is Snowing


It has been a nice winter day. It is perhaps a little blustery out there, but snow is falling and the forecast looks pretty good.

Snow On The Way?


Of late we have had many beautiful, storm free days. That may be changing. I am not sure we have a huge dump coming, but it looks like we are in for some unsettled weather through the weekend. I would not be surprised to have a few inches new each day. Yesterday I found good snow off Pali Lift, on Black Bear and in Lenawee Parks. It won't take much snow to get "things happening" again.

Slalom Slope


Slalom Slope sure has been good all season long. Certainly one of my favorites. In the summer, much of the trail is grassy tundra. With its East facing aspect, it is  favored by predominantly Southwest to Northwest winds. It gets a lot of snow and the grassy areas are smooth. It is one of the first steeper trails with natural snow to have good skiing each year. Sometimes the bumps get a little big, but a nice snowstorm with good wind smooths it out.
