Had a sick kid cancel our Mid march trip and we’re planning end of April, but looking like it probably won’t happen now, not worth the efforts around youth sports for marginal skiing. Bummer of a season.

Thanks for the Snowbird update. We get in Thursday night for the weekend.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. The daily snow write up has been consistent in not talking details though.

Heading to Snowbird next Thursday evening. Looking positive. I'd have. canceled if it was going to be dry and just gone to Mammoth.

That's not true. I have family who live(d) there. Thre's also a bunch that burned lower down.

I don't have a lot of time to write but spent 2 days cruising groomers at Deer Valley. The new expansion had the best snow, maybe better snowmaking combined with lower elevation so it stayed softer in the nice weather. I'd for sure have cancelled but it was a really productive work trip, all...

For Altadena, that would have helped. I’d say they should put fires out properly instead of protecting plants (which ironically all burned because of their screw up), fill reservoirs, and properly prepare for weather events.

The day started off really slow, no Rollercoaster and no Canyon. Ended up being nice with 22 , 25 and canyon opening. Unfortunately the boys just don’t have the confidence for the frontside of 22 yet. Lots of good skiing otherwise though.

I meant to reply to this yesterday. I think Canyon Express was close due to avalanche danger from Lincoln. They had everything on that side closed, you couldn't even go that direction off of Rollercoaster. Seems like they're being really conservative with stability on Lincoln which makes...
