Dylan busts a move.
It's February now and the cumulative snowfall for the year is a paltry 63". Tim the owner had a steely attitude when I chatted with him yesterday. He was looking at the upside--no hat, no coat. I'm still a little amazed they they've able to operate at all.
We got a little snow last week (~4") but Dylan and I didn't have any great expectations that it would be significantly better. So, we were surprised when it was. The new snow covered the ice layer which is providing a solid base, and conditions were packed powder on the back.
Nice and sunny in the parking lot.
The conditions on the backside don't look too horrible.
Except for a few trees and rocks and other hazards.
This explains a lot.
It's not all bad.
One upside is the ability to leap small trees and large rocks.
The forecast is calling for a little more snow between now and Wednesday. A little will keep things running, but what is really needed is a couple of good Cascade dumps in the 24" to 36" range. I remain optimistic that it will happen eventually.
Maybe even before next weekend.
