My aplogies for having fallen off of the SnoFax wagon! I was hoping I could say that I am coming to you at the turning of the tide but that may not be the case. About a half of foot of refresher, plus a little bit here and there since I last wrote nearly two weeks ago, and there's been lots of sun. This week, we enter the crucible. The skiing is maintaining, but this week we can expect temps into the 40's, with plenty of sun.
Today's temps are expected to range between 17°F and 34°F, with winds out west, calmly blowing to about 20mph at the peak. Last night, gusts to 45mph may have provided some great wind buff in places like the Bowl, or the steeps of Challenger.
There's a small chance for some snow tomorrow, but then things are expected to heat up for the rest of the week. It'll be more spring skiing in February! All in all, Big Sky's skiing is in great shape compared to many other places. It has been a truly unordinary year here, but I sure am thankful for the base that we have. I would keep riding those rock skis if I were you, and setting out for some casual riding, bumps and groomers and chalk. Keep praying for snow.
