If the weather wasn't so raw, be a good time to climb up on top and clean/lube ... sure is easy access ... no ladder required.

Peter posted a link to some pictures from Squaw Valley (14'+ on the ground) :

At home, feels like spring. Insane amount of rain and almost room temp outside included free of extra charge.

Fortunately up north, seems like they're holding up.

It ain't any better in VT, believe me. Not supposed to see consistent cold/snow till about the 23rd from what I hear.

Was apparently quite zany today at Mt Rose ... the pictures of the lift lines are insane

Made it to Mount Snow in Vermont yesterday - got cold again so they were blowing snow during the day, but lots of patches of grass on the non-snowmaking runs and about 1/3 of the mountain was closed after a day of rain in the 50s last week

Giant line waiting for the Bluebird bubble six pack, while the Grand Summit chair right next to it (which goes to the same place) was empty all day.
