FIRST DUMP ALERT! A dusting of early-season snowfall painted the upper mountain white on Friday night, and it was followed up swiftly by a deep dump on Sunday evening! We arrived on Monday morning to find the entire mountain buried beneath at least 10 inches of new snow, all the way down to the Base Area. All we can say is – WOW. As if we needed another source of anticipation for the upcoming season, it’s smacked us right in the face.
Today, we’re digging out under a deep bluebird sky with the magic of winter warming our hearts. It was hardly 3 days ago that we were admiring the golden tamarack needles that were just beginning to light up in their full glory. They’re still buried down there somewhere – we think. Looking out from the lodge, it’s hard to believe it’s still October right now. Let’s hope this storm is just the first of many!
