    No, the Bowl's not opening. Temerity and Mushroom will open, as well as most of Steeplechase. Slides have taken out several sections of the Bowl for now, and the rest is being boot packed. Will be a fun day though.

    Just keeps growing!!!

    This just in; that radar image your are looking at is from a weather radar turned to "clear air" mode; its a super-sensitive setting only used when NO storms are near the radar - in clear air, you can pick up flocks of birds!!!

    So, when someone goofs, and flips on clear air when it's storming, it looks like the end of the world...

    Clear air or not, it's better than nothing. Looks like Steamboat and Hahn's Peak area are gonna get slammed the hardest. Anyone up for some turns Friday?

    OK, I can't hold back anymore, I keep checking this thread hoping to see that someone is going to prove the weather people wrong and say its dumping up in Summit. damn...
    I was amazed at how light and fluffy the powdery snow was and at how the challenge never ended.
