So much Snow!

I just got back from the mountain and I wanted to give an accurate report. Early season snow is great no matter how much we get or what density it is, but please give a true report. The conditions today were hard and fast on the only groomed trail tote. Hayburner and Kings had about a 2 inch crust on it. If you were lucky you did not break through. When you did break through you really had to work to pop and make another turn. I think the only way you could have been knee deep is if you took off your board/skis and tried to walk down the trail.
This snow will be a great base and I am real excited that we got it. With a little help from the groomers and snow makers, the trail count can increase dramatically.

Lizzy,

Please realize that we're not all pessimistic people (I'm quite the opposite in fact), but if you only give a sugarcoated version of what the conditions are like you'll find a dwindling fan base. I'm with 3pin, this snow is a great base, and I'm thrilled that we have this for when the next storm comes along, but don't sell it as knee deep powder.

Thank you for the suggestions and I will certainly take them to heart. Please know that there is never any intention to mislead anyone, and yesterday we were merely trying to convey how much snow we received up on the mountain, even when almost all of the state was receiving rain. I think we can all agree that a storm like that, this early in the season is awesome and sets us up incredibly well for the rest of the season. Thanks again for your comments and suggestions - they are always welcome and they will always be heard.
