Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. 5 inches of snow today, and 25 inches total in the past week!!! In addition to the steady snow, it was a bit windy, so you might say it was Every Which Way But Loose, or Everything Everywhere All At Once. BTW – Snow Snakes are the rivers of snow blowing across the slopes, and Snow Devils are the mini snow tornadoes. My run of the day was the 3 miler of Upper Chilcoot > Catwalk > Upper FIS > Lower Doc’s > Link > Ruthies > Gary B’s > Midway > Curley’s Cutback > Meadowlark. POWdah!
One of several skiers I saw on Upper Madonna Liftline today.

You just float through it and it does not toss you around. I skied this morning on Madonna and everything was open. I had some wonderful powder turns on Upper FIS, Lower Catwalk, Docs, McPherson’s, Red Fox Glades, Shire, Drifter, and Father Bob’s. I switched over to my snowboard in the afternoon and played on Morse Mountain. I decided to head over to the Morse Highlands area.
