<I>(Note from the Administrator: This report was originally posted on 2/1/00. Due to our move to new servers, the date and time attributed to this post is incorrect.)</I> <BR> <BR>Day after a powder day. <BR> <BR>An inch or so of new snow at the start with constant flurries all day. A serious snow squall started about 2 PM and tapered off around 3:30 PM. 1" per hour stuff for a while. I brushed 3 inches of snow off my car when I left 
<BR> <BR>This is what mid-winter should be like. Another dump and the deck outside the patrol shack outside the double will be level with the base depth. <BR> <BR>Off piste is there. <BR> <BR>On piste, you can crank a few select corners really tight and be up to your knees in powder. The valleys may have been flirting with the freezing mark, but the mountains still have dry snow. <BR> <BR>Everywhere on the mountain was wonderful. Mad River groomed and base leveled the intermediates such as Quacky/Porky/etc. as well as all the easy. The Blue Square squad folk had wider smiles than any of the groovy-Uvee black square folk. <BR> <BR>Ski here now.
