Great day, about a foot of new snow in the morning. It was a little grabby in the AM, but it cooled down with lighter new snow falling, so later in the day conditions on the lower mountain improved. Chair 2 was excellent all day, 12-18 inches of new fairly light snow, and low wind with occasional gusts. BC gates and snake dance were closed all day. <br><br>Chair 2 was only open for about an 2 1/2 hours, due to a late start and early close for avy control. Still plenty of time to get a bunch of faceshots! 6 inches of snow covered my car in the 4 hours I was on the hill. Tomorrow should be awesome! <br><br>
