of the snow you were hoping would cover
the ice is at the bottom of the slope.


Should be an snowmaker attendant throughout the night adjusting the
wetness of the mix creating a good bond, followed by adjusting for a
good surface ...

Life is good herebouts, except for late week's miserable above freezing
temps and full sun. I vastly prefer early in the week's 60-80mph howlers
on the ridges, since once you're off the ridge the snow was great; and
faces and fingers thaw eventually. Monday and Tuesday were world class -
season peaks (so far) and no body part turned white and sluffed off.

Sent you an email at the addy I have - did you get it?

Hey. Let's keep this a straight group.
