Currently down at MRG to check out the reported 4 feet of new snow and the clipper ahead of the cold front. After driving thru snow and wind for 3 hours made it out on the mountain just before noon. Have to say ,very good conditions with packed powder and new snow. Skied all the regular blacks and the trees and was surprised not to find the scraped down bumps that are at times common. Skiing was quite easy with the soft new snow. The snow cover in the valleys and mountains appears to be above average compared to past years. Worth the trip ,if you thinking of going.
