100 percent open
It just doesn’t get much better
My son Hugh B and I went on a 3 mountain tour today. We were able to find some fresh tracks on each mountain. The 20 inches on new snow in the past 4 days made it a little easier to find the goods. The hard part was deciding where to go because everything is wonderful! The groomed trails are fantastic, but the glades are really hard to beat right now.

That might have been the best day of the season
The quality of the snow, the amount of the snow, and the already deep base depths made for possibly the best day of the season. The colder temperatures last night made the new snow light and fluffy. The light winds last night allowed the new snow to blanket the whole mountain. All I can say is that was an amazing day out on the slopes!
