Sunday morning, I headed up to The Holy Land and arrived when light snow was falling. <BR> Lynx-Beaver had outstanding bump skiing on trail check that was so good that I did it <BR>again for dessert. I went to go say hello to Keith, Lori, Danny and Mr Kincade by taking <BR>the lower whose entrance and found some crust that was reasonable and rapidly getting <BR>buried by the new wet snow. Great skiing was found on Fall Line and upper Canyon, too. <BR> At around noon, the snowfall at the base area was getting dangerously close to rain - <BR>snow level seemingly rose to 1599 feet (Basebox is at 1600 feet). <BR> Power went out which shut down The Double for the day and we were on standby at the <BR>Starks Nest which gave me a chance to dry some stuff and do AED practice. I took a run <BR>down Fall Line afterwards and found some great solitude. <BR> Sweep was great down Liftline. I often overlook that trail, unfortunately. The bumps <BR>were soft and fantastic and the roller coaster ride was sweet down the new soft snow. <BR> I figured that we would get some new snow overnight and that the forecasted chilly temps <BR>for the next day would be tolerable, especially compared to the deep freeze experienced <BR>during President's Day weekend ......
