First off, forecasts last week were way off with the "dusting of snow" prediction. This hit of powder started Thursday and just doesn't want to stop! There is no lack of powder on the mountain right now...we've even been getting reports that there's TOO MUCH snow now. Pictures and videos we've seen from guests range from coming just over the hood to being in over your head when jumping off your sled.
