stormin' pretty good up there today, but it seemed like more wind than snow. still, 15cm had fallen by this afternoon, so there was plenty of powder to be found especially since not many braved the elements. lots of bumps, and a few unpleasant lumps, but overall pretty nice snow in the trees. alpine was closed - even mid-mountain lifts were running at half speed. should make for some great riding tomorrow once they get everything going.
looks like we're setting up for a big snow week!
