Another beautiful day
I want to thank our snowmakers for doing a great job on Upper FIS! I skied it this morning and it was fantastic. There are nice big smooth snowmaking whales from Catwalk all the way down to Mulcahy’s Link. I had a great time playing on the piles of snow. The snow is chalky and very edgeable. I also skied Smugglers’ Alley this morning. Our groomers did a wonderful job on it last night. It was so much fun to carve big turns down the smooth steep pitch. Today’s forecast is calling for partly sunny skies with a high of 33 degrees. Currently it is partly sunny and 25 degrees at the summit of Madonna with no wind! Enjoy this gorgeous day!
