I know, I know, no good without pictures, but it was just too darn cold too pull off the gloves for pics!!!!
Anyway, the conditions today at Cat were as good as I've seen them since maybe '04 or '05, when they had a good snowstorm and the meadow was open. Light and fluffy powder everywhere on the mountain and not bad crowds either. No wait at the double and the lower quad. Sooo nice!!! The only downer was my son's girlfriend having to be carried down by ski patrol on the litter after a bad fall on her hip.
Oh yeah, and the morning temps were pretty brutal, but it warmed up nicely...better than I expected given the forecast. I always look around for signs of SkiNC stickers on helmets, but didn't find any today. All in all, just a great day at the Cat!!!
