Well it started with a bang with amazing early snowfall in early Nov, but then a 3-4 week drought. We've been sitting with a 70-80cm base for what seems like forever!
Now finally the storms sweep through starting yesterday. We got a promising 5-8cm Dec 19th, but today it all turned to a pineapple! Yes, a tropical pineapple complete with warm wet rain from peak to valley. What should have been a 20cm dump of the white fluffy was a 20mm down pour!
Needless to say, we didnt even bother to ski today. The water soaked skiers coming off the mtn said it all. Water skiing!!!
I dont know how much of an already marginal base we'll have after this is all over. Tomorrow is only looking marginally better with freezing levels at 1800-2000m and more of the pineapple juice pouring over us.
Man, this totally sux! Is this going to be a repeat of last year? Maybe I should move to North Pole and become an elf!
