Snowed on and off all day...

Snowmakers packing up their gear after a great night/morning of making snow on King's Horn. The mid/lower King's Horn is covered in snowmaking whales.

Diten doing some Crabbe Mountain Ski Patrol training this afternoon.

The Glades, War Dance, Sunvalley and Little Brave were open today and have a great base!

Another great day of skiing and riding at Crabbe. Jay and I went out for a few midday runs. We're up to 14/22 runs today. The quote we keep hearing... "conditions are alot better than I expected!" I'd say the best snow today was on the Upper Dave's thru Greg's Way loop and they both have 100% natural snow coverage at the moment. Also, the Upper Harold's to Tippy Canoe to Elgees run was pretty sweet too. As of update time (5:45pm) it's been snowing on and off all day here at Crabbe, i'd say 3-4cm so far... let's see where tomorrows forecast takes us. - SB

PS. One thing Jay and I talked about while skiing on Christmas Eve Day (what an amazing day of skiing that was) is that when conditions are as good as they are right now, you really have to make the most, of your days on the slopes and ski as often as you can because conditions can change very fast. Especially on the East Coast! Don't catch yourself saying... "I should have gone up yesterday!"
