3-6" of freshies in last 24 hrs-- Andesite receiving the most snow

Snow fell most of the day yesterday and well into the evening, seemingly favoring Andesite, dumping 6" straight onto the snow stake there in the last 24hrs. All other stations reporting about 3-4" of total accumulation, but the winds have howled overnight, likely spreading this snow around and creating some deep wind drifts. Gusts over 50mph at the summit all night long, out of the Southwest, hopefully loading up our Bowls. Likely scouring on Challenger, but if the angle is right there could be some great drifts up there as well. Seems like Moonlight got less of this snow, but I've gotta hope skiing is going to open up soon over there.

Today's temps are expected to range between 19°F at the summit, and 35°F down at the base by the end of the day, and winds are expected to continue to howl out of the Southwest, gusting over 35mph at mid mountain this morning, before hopefully dying down once again and giving way to more snow as cold air rolls in from the Northwest starting around noon. 

More storm skiing on the menu today! Possible wind holds out there this morning if this system lets out one last gust before surrendering to the slower moving colder air from the Northwest. Other than that continue to ride with caution as our mid mountain base is still barely 2 feet deep, and this is just enough snow to hide the rocks at this point. Follow the drifts and lean back! As always, remember to stay safe, and have fun out there.

Well unfortunately and unsurprisingly enough, these high winds have prevailed and have driven down our chances for snow fall. Winds over 70mph at the summit already this morning, and it's not expected to die down any time soon, in fact I'm guessing we may see over 100mph tomorrow. That being said these warm temps may have nuked the low elevation South Face parts of the mountain, however because the sun is so low in the sky, and the breeze has been cool, the rest of the snow has been essentially preserved, what little snow there is. 

Today's temps are expected to range between 20°F and 38°F, so a little colder than yesterday, and winds are expected to continue howling out of the West/Southwest. Snow is expected to fall this morning, but I only expect a trace of accumulation. 

There's still great chalky skiing to be had on the South Wall in the Bowl. Other than that it's firm and fast groomers, that thankfully are mostly grippy, with the occasional ice patch here and there. My prayer is that whenever this endless wind subsides, then a slow moving, friendly patient and jolly snow storm from the North will bring great gifts to our mountain in time for Christmas. As always remember to stay safe, and have fun out there.

No new snow on Lone Mountain, and our mid mountain base rests at only 19" after several days with temps over freezing, and winds gusting out of the Southwest to 75mph at the summit. Some reports of fun, fast, windblown skiing in the bowl yesterday, but we sit on a razors edge with the temperatures, and if things freeze up before snow falls, we could be in for a rough day.

Today's temps, and temps for the next three days are expected to range between 20°F and 38°F, with wind out of the Southwest gusting to 20mph at mid mountain. All under a mix of clouds and sun.

Madison Base opened up yesterday, but Madison 8 did not. No skiing connection between the two sides of the mountains yet. Not sure a timeline on that. Winds are expected to remain steady and snow isn't supposed to show up until some time on Tuesday. More of the same out there in terms of skiing, while the base continues to be worn away by our edges. Should still be a great day to get out there and soak up some sun, cruise some chunky groomers, and maybe even find some wind blown chalk in the Bowl. Keep praying for snow and keep being patient!
