Mountain Report

February 9, 2010

Every now and then I get a case of writers block, and this morning is one of those days. It's true, in fact it happens to the best of us snowreporting professionals from time to time. I mean, there are only so many ways you can say how great the snow is, how packed the powder is, how soft the corduroy is, how blue the skies are, and in general just how good the skiing and riding are. I am running out of superlatives when it comes to describing our snowmakers and groomers, who are by and far the best around, and have us enjoying great conditions from the cruisers to the steeps, as we close in on President’s Week.

9 trails were under our snowguns last night as we continue to work across all 8 peaks with fresh snow. Work continues today in Starlight as we get ready for this weekend's USASA Boardercross and Skiercross Competition. To fill up your park cravings check out Rocking Chair, which will continue to have work done on it in advance of President’s Week, the newly revamped South Ridge Jib Park, which also will have elements added as the week progresses, or the new and improved Mini-Pipe, which is sick nasty awesome.  

For those of you eager for the a little vacation time, and you’re not alone, there are a million things going on this weekend including, the USASA Boardercross and Skiercross Competition, our Bud Light Music series at the Foggy Goggle, kids and family activities thanks to our Black Diamond Entertainment series, and more thanks to President’s Week! Plus, Ski and Stay vacation packages for that week start at $129 and include slopeside lodging, lift tickets for 12-Hour Skiing, and an adult Perfect Turn clinic.
