Trees look more like shrouded towering ghosts than the gentle Jeffrey pines of the week prior.
With snow comes weather; and with this storm, lots of both.
Sometimes that combo is a game-changer in terms of running chair lifts.
Sometimes the game changes in a matter of minutes and without notice.
The snow is going to be amazing.
Some guests are infuriated.
But we simply cannot and will not open a chair lift to skiers and riders with excessive winds.
That was their day.
The point of this post?
We all do our best to keep up with the fickle wind and its dictation over chair lift changes.
The mountain will be here.
And as sure as the sun rises, the winds will eventually diminish.
And the chair lifts will open.
And you will ski and ride through beautiful powder.
