3-5" of snow fell sunday night in the mountains. On monday it was a little icy in the morning but things softened up by 11. Tuesday and Wedndesday were nice sunny days although very windy at the top of the lenawee lift (as was every day). Got warmer as the week went on. Thursday was warm at the base but flurries during the day up on the mountain. Friday was warmer with flurries on the mountain again. By Friday, snow began to get slushy and slower on the flat parts. Saturday was warm until and snowstorm came. Didn't last long, with rain at the base and snow up top. But it didn't help the memorial day beach party. Sun came out later in the day to make it a nice day. East Wall was open all week with pretty good conditions. (closed on Sunday) 3 of 5 lifts were open from monday to friday with 4 of 5 open on saturday. The exhibition, molly hogan, and lenawee lifts were open thru friday and the norway lift opened on saturday. Now, the exhibition and norway lifts are open with 16 trails open and a 27" base. Exhibition is open from 8-1:30 and norway is open from 8-2:00. The lenawee lift closed for the last time last weekend. They are replacing it with a fixed-grip triple for next season. CLOSING DAY IS JUNE 10.
