I was taking to one of the owners of Caberfae Peaks last weekend and he said he can’t remember the last time skiing had been in such demand. He said they feel obligated to have a deep base and so the new or old people who have not skied in years that just because you don’t have snow in your backyard doesn’t mean that we don’t have snow

I wonder what the mid week traffic has been like versus the average.

At Lab/Song my experiences have been more folks skiing midweek compared to the last couple years. Conditions have been good this year so there’s that.

I saw the guns on a Plattekill in the cams, that's very unusual. I believe Windham has been making snow.

Anyone else?

Plattekill blew the snot out of the Face both Sat and Sun.

Who's making snow?

The Olympics are.
They don’t have a flake of natural snow.
Maybe they should just put in a zipline and call it good.

Here’s How the Artificial Snow Was Made for the Beijing Olympics

China’s capital city is set to become the first to host both a Summer and Winter Games. The one problem? With virtually no natural snow to be found, the falling flakes will be fully fake.

I wonder if they are getting covid money to cover expenses.

Windham, Hunter, Belleayre, Plattekill all made snow last night, maybe even Thunder Ridge. Mohawk Mountain over in CT, as well.
