Hello Skiers,
Last night it snowed enough to make the mountains look just perfect as the sun rose this morning. We received a total of about 14 inches of snow at the base area and additional amount at the upper elevations.
Trees are laden with snow all the may down to the Truckee River, as the warmer temperatures that we experienced yesterday dropped over night into the teens. Today the sky is partly cloudy.
It was definitely a powder day at Alpine this morning as a large group of people waited at the base of Summit Chair for the rights to place first tracks in the seasons deepest powder. It was a joy to make tracks in the powder this morning, although I remain somewhat cautious. There was an cloud creating foggy conditions hanging over the upper mountain. This made visibility somewhat difficult in the bowls. We skied the D7 and D8 areas as well as Sunspot and found plenty of powder to cut up during the first hour or so of the morning. Scott was turning but was not scheduled to open until noon. The mountain looks much better with coverage 100% improved from yesterday. We still need more snow, but things are looking good.
Enjoy your day. Andy
