I guess the roof got blown off the zuma chair lift shack.

Skinned to 10k feet near the divide in Summit, deep but very heavy and wet.
Is the snow generally heavy and wet everywhere up high?
WP reported 11" but had 14-16" when lifts started spinning. Wet between 9-10,000 feet but light and dry above that. Frontside WP and Vasquez skied awesome in the AM, Pano opened midday and was perfect aside from the crowds. MJ more tracked than elsewhere. Face shots all day, just had to deal with bottoming out on frozen crust every couple of turns on the steeper stuff. Almost zero wind.
Not much wind at Vail, but the wind last night was from the east and ridges got scoured to ice. Where there wasn't ice there was punchy wind affected snow. Trees are still good.
LL was spinning when we left about 1pm...great day! Wind was not bad - typical LL
Did the ridge open at LL?
BME spun for an hour at the end of the day so all the good terrain will be tracked out.
18" of very slidy snow at moffat today. South - East aspect did NOT bond well if you're over 35 degrees and near a roll or other trigger...
Bailed A-Basin at 9:30 and went to copper. 17 glade and the runs by alpine lift still had pretty good snow by the time I arrived, and was still pretty good at the end of the day. Not crowded at all either except for Sierra which was all tracked out anyways.
LL was scoured, plus the lifts stayed open so everything got tracked pretty hard. Base layer is extra firm.
LL ridge was not open at 1pm, but patrol was working things with a few charges
My driveway
There's a plow truck somewhere in there
Loveland.... 5" new on totally skied out.
Abasin... wind beat but unskied
Did breck open anything but the bottom lifts yesterday?
