I've got some time off work. Conditions looked favorable .I went riding .Never in 100 years would I have thought that I could go to Snowshoe on the day after Christmas in 35 degree sunny weather and have conditions like this at about noon when I arrived in the basin.

After the first run .My jaw dropped when I rode straight up to the Powdermonkey lift..
Heck lets try ball hooter .? Not bad only a few minutes .No complaints here .A couple hours of really fun riding. The snow was chewed up a little more in the northern track area(seemed like all the vacationers were over there) but really fun rollers + side hits still showing up in the middle of the basin.
Lower ballhooter looking really close to getting open!
As well there's good progress on the upper flume coming down from the top of the world parking lot. Props again snow making crew!
Might not be much riding tomorrow but the few days after that look promising.Fingers/toes /heart all crossed.
