January 23rd, 2022 North/Northwest Area Past 72 hours: 7-8" Inches Past 7 Days: 9-11" Inches Current Base: 5-6' Feet (at least 6' feet ideal target) South/Southeast Area Past 72 hours: 3-6" Inches Past 7 Days: 4-8" Inches Current Base: 4-5' Feet (at least 5' feet ideal target) Summary Nothing huge to report this week as it has been pretty mild weather here. We did get a little freshening up Thurs-Fri with reports from riders mostly being positive on the North/Northwest areas finding a fresh foot in many areas. "Bumper deep within 10' of the trail" as one guest put it. Everyone is also saying the base is definitely pretty well setup for the season at this point. Forecast remains mild through next week with a little snow in the forecast Mon-Tues. In the long picture, there is a large storm coming our way that looks to possibly hit us February 2nd-4th with long range estimates currently from 2-3' feet...fingers crossed!
