111"

This November closes out as our snowiest on record! 111" of snow and it's still coming! Gotta love La Nina. The ski hill opened on Nov. 24th with top to bottom skiing and not just one white ribbon of death. Pretty much the whole mountain was accessible with some hiking. There was so much snow before opening day that we just had to hike up and get some. After a long slog up we were rewarded with a mountain of possibilities, the whole place to our selves and knee deep powder everywhere.
We made a few of laps and then came back for more a couple of days later. The first real powder day came on Monday morning with a 15" dump. What a day! Tuesday brought another 10". Now I remember why I live in steamboat!
