Hey, FTOers - it sure feels good to be back!

I took an early lunch break from workin' for the big man to squeeze in four quick runs at Solitude. There's not nearly as much snow as in Little Cottonwood Canyon, but the cruising was fun nonetheless.

We've been under persistent warm high pressure for the past week, set to be broken tomorrow afternoon. Let's hope that the snowfall is at the northern end of the 3 to 5 inches they're predicting. The corduroy was firm and fast -- it looked and sounded very eastern-like -- and open natural snow runs were very thin with the occasional brown spot and weeds poking up through in places. Cover on the snowmaking runs was by and large sufficient.

Four quick runs (one on the painfully slow Moonbeam, the remainder on Eagle Express) and it was time to go back to work.
