five day forecast
i finally found the time to start the season today. the conditions were about what i expected, and probably best referred to as "eastern". the base is primarily man-made snow, with a few soft turns to be found. but there are also very icy spots, ice chunky spots, and the always enjoyable experience of getting fake snow blasted into your face.
i called it a short day since i know there are no secret stashes up there. i would probably recommend blackomb due to the fact that they have much more alpine terrain open.
we are still desperately in need of a huge storm cycle. the 5cm here and there is not helping, and it seems like the forecasters have hit the xmas sauce early this year as the 5 day forecast is changing faster than a baby with the runs. at least the deep chill seems to be gone.
