Got up early and didn't have my son in tow this time. Probably a good idea as it was insanely cold. It got down to -7 on the way up the mountain. So that the coldest I've ever been in by a few degrees. But cold kept crowds away. It wamred up to around 14 and was sunny so by noon it was more comfortable.

-6 and pristine

Video of todays happenings. 1:53 is pretty funny. Im recording one of my coworkers hitting a jump, look in the back ground and you see some people go straight off lower snow bird and into a ditch

Especially in your county Roy. Station 5 didn't have power for 2 days straight so thats essentially no food and no heat. They brought in propane and kerosene heaters from home. I have no clue how they kept their radio batteries charged
