Wow. What a great day! We officially got 4 inches of fresh snow, but it’s skiing like 5 or 6.  The forecast is calling for another 8 or 12 inches, so things should be looking really good from Christmas morning on.

They say a picture’s worth a thousand words, so instead of trying to explain the conditions, I thought I’d just post these photos from StairStep, which is an ungroomed powder run, and from 45th Parallel, which was groomed last night but has at least 3 inches of powder on it. Enjoy the photos and have a Merry Christmas!

Powdery Groomed Run - 45th Parallel

We call this a 'powder grin'

I guess that makes this a 'groomer grin'

(We also want to hear from you, and invite you to post your thoughts and opinions on today’s conditions or any other happening here at Brundage Mountain)
