Lake effect snow blanketed central NY. I was dressed for work and shovelling 6" of fluff off my walk when I decided to go to work late.
The drive to GP was a bit dicey and I did an unexpected 180 in a curve on 392, but there were no other cars and I stayed on the road. I wasn't going too fast, the car in front of me had no trouble. I parked next to him in the GP parking lot.
First run down the right side of Eleysian Fields was sweet. There wasn't as much snow here as there was on my land 35 miles to the west, but it was still a nice quality snow.
2nd run was down Olympian. Firm base was felt under the fluff, but it skied pretty well and was especially nice in the drifted areas.
I ran into my friend on the ski patrol and together we checked out some of the closed areas, including Zeus that was drifted up very nicely on skier's left, a foray into the Hercules woods which involved 2 stream crossings, and then 2 hikes up to the top of the closed chair 2 to ski Atlas and Aesops which were quite nice. Photos of those attached.
