Well we finally just had the first real storm of ‘09.  It started raining in town on Thursday and continued to rain/snow throughout the weekend and into Monday.  Temperatures were pretty warm to start but continued to get colder day by day.  Classic sierra cement.  This was the type of storm we are more likely to get in November instead of January.  The good thing is it got cold Saturday night and the wind started to work its magic.  Sunday it snowed and blowed all day and the snow started to dry out and become lighter.  Monday was partially cloudy with a few snow flurries, but conditions were clear enough to get the whole mountain open by the early afternoon.  If you weren’t here, you really missed a couple of epic powder days.  Good news is this type of storm really sets us up for the next couple of months.  Coverage is excellent and the heavy snow has covered up the majority of remaining early season obstacles.  I believe the snow totals over the weekend are around 4+ feet.  Come on up if you have the chance.  Conditions don’t get much better than right now.  I will try to post some pics later in the week.
