2011-12 First Day of Skiing

Hard to say this with a straight face, bit even though we have had just over 4' or snow already this year, we really haven't had enough for the ski areas to fully open.

Monarch only had a 21" base until the storm this week, that gave it another 8", but that only allowed the runs served by the Breeze Way lift to be what I would call fully opened. The others had pretty much been wind scoured to rock.

The weather was the best I have ever experienced there though, 18 degrees and NO wind.

Derek, Marlys and I had a great day.

Hopefully, some storms will line up out in the Pacific and bury the place so that January and February are awesome.
