Shenanigans & Powder (some sleet)
I think I need to call shenanigans on K-mart this morning for reporting 17" on their webpage. Bullshit!! I hate that crap, their snow stake is in a place that got drifted in, yet they still use that snow stake as the official number.
Anyway, on a brighter note I patrolled there yesterday & the winds were howling. Enough to shut down almost the whole mountain. In the morning they were trying to open Superstar Chair so they let patrollers on. They didn't open the lift but it was running for patrollers from about 7:30 - 10:00. Most of the work assignments were at the very top of the mountain where the winds were howling but the rest of the runs down were a buttery, velvet 6-8" of untouched with no winds (almost every other aspect on the mountain was getting wind hammered though). It made the drive there all worth it. The snow changed over to some very light sleet during the afternoon and a touch of freezing rain. I'm guessing they received another 6" last night bringing the total to 12-14". Not quite the epic dump that it could have been, but the fact that there is already a deep base underneath and a whole untouched mountain to myself, made it an awesome day. The woods were lovely dark and deep, & quiet...pretty much unheard of at K-mart.
Oh yeah..also we have another 3 storms on the map in the coming week. For those of you that need a good laugh check this out, maybe you've seen it...it's called Business Time and it's chorus was my anthem yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGOohBytKTU
