And the town smiled. Happyness in a ski town is directly related to snow and being able to play. Well everybody played – some more than others.

The skiing at the Resort was nice up high and crappy on the lower half. We do need two more 30cm dumps to make the skiing like it should be and the forecast looks promising.  Opening day is quickly approaching.

My kids are full time players – they loved the first snow of the year in their playground.

Yesterday I skied HP with two mums. I wish the skiing had been as good as the company!

The base was solid at 6000ft however we need snow, NOW, not next month, NOW! In the alpine the snow was wind scoured however the trees offered nice soft turns. May it snow!

Work continues on building the Castle Rocks trail at a feverish pace. With Winter being close, the drive to complete the trail is almost complete. With under 100 meters of side hill remaining to dig, this trail will be set-up well for riding next year. Here is yesterdays trail gang in action – heads down swinging.

As I’m posting this update Winter blew in – next weekend hopefully we’ll be using a very different set of tools – skies, poles, etc..

Cross your fingers!
