Late Autumn storm arrives!

6 to 10 inches of new snow depending on where you live.

Whooo Hooo !!

This is Lapham Peak this afternoon.



Not groomed yet ... but it will be, you know that!







And some video I shot today. Nothing special, just enjoying an early winter day.

Another Autumn Storm !

Here comes another one! It may be more of a sloppy
mix of rain and snow, but I'll hope for the best. Get some
skiing in today if you can.



I made some changes to the header photo here.
Looking better, more changes in the works.

Ski-on.

Ready for the weekend.

Full-on winter conditions now. 14F at sunset. Packed powder and recently re-groomed at Minooka.

Giddy Up.

Ski - On !!

The first real snow fall of the year was Sunday. In general it was 2 inches but a band of lake effect snow dumped 6 to 10 inches across parts of the area. The wonderful groomer at Minooka Park took full advantage of that and double tracked the whole trail system. There are some leaves on the trail in the wooded areas but very few thin spots.

Not knowing what I'd find, I just headed over in civies (blue jeans). Tomorrow it's full
ski gear!




















More snow in the forecast for tomorrow.
I say: BRING IT ON!!

Roll 4 Snow

The first race of the year was held in 37 degree rain.

Cold? 'Ya, but not cold enough!
