pretty nutty up there today. crazy wind and snow on the ride up red chair, lots of wind drifts and scoured areas. lower mountain was rammed since nobody wanted to venture up top and the alpine was closed. snowing heavily in the valley now, and it looks like we are going to get pounded all week. bring it on.
haven't posted any good snow pics in a while, but here are some cute WAG puppies instead.
5pm update: it is PUKING out there. roads are a mess, the highway is at a total standstill going south. the smart kids are going to bed early tonight.

i don't think that your latest blog entry fully discloses the insanity of the extreme high winds halfway up red. it's no wonder that the alpine chairs didn't open and i'm surprised they could keep red going given the extreme conditions. blowing snow made visibility challenging, but except for the wind scoured spots, the snow was not so bad. i guess that's why the lower mountain was so heavily trafficked. the gondy upload was a sweet cozy little indoor retreat.
