Gore Mountain Conditions

AE2 was rough this morning. I managed 2 runs before heading in. Conditions on the lower mountain were very good and it was empty. Ironic that tickets were sold out.

It will be warmer tomorrow especially afternoon, so I expect a much bigger crowd.

Skied 2 to about closing. It was fun, Twister were firm. Echo is beautiful, and I think this storm could be pretty sweet for that pod. Echo was nice in some places and very firm in others. Darby was a little firm but very skiable, much better than Lies was yesterday. Chatti looked good but as I got up there the patroller told me it was closed. I don't know if it opened today.

Wild air should be nice whenever they open it. It was closed today.

Temp wise, I started at 2 when it was about 7 deg. I didn't feel particularly cold. My feet got a bit cold. I have the 'ski boot glove', which is like the neoprene ninja face thing but goes over your boots. I forgot to wear them - with something like that I don't think the feet would be particularly cold. I did not expose any skin and skied with my goggles on until they fogged.
 
Here's all the snow from the whole season on our porch at 1900, near Gore.

The bottom half is very solid, the top is soft enough and somehow bonded too.

Could be interesting if we get 10 inches. @Ripitz

Not hard to get 1st cabin or 1st chair this morning.
Folks will most likely come out as it warms up.
Should be a great day to ski.

We're planning to drive over at 9, but it may be more like 9:15 /9:30 given our state of readiness. About 10 min away.

Looking forward to today but especially tomorrow. We are going to head to the flatlands about an hour or two after it stops snowing so there is some time to clear the roads Monday. If it is particularly late will get up at a ridiculous hour to drive very early Tuesday.

Ski you on the hill. If anyone wants to meet up, I have a Blue Patagonia jacket, bright green helmet, and J skis with a deer print and a bit faded white-ish.
