At 7:00am it was 92*... didn't drop below 90* overnight...

At 8:20am it is still 92*....  :o

38º here. :D

any hotties in the pool yet?

It's been bitter, bitter cold the last couple of days. A little warmer today, which almost always means more snow on the way.  [sm_snow]

Or does it just feel that way to you?

Pool opens at 9am... ;D

Went boarding Sunday and the high temp at 9000 feet was about 12 degrees.  It's definitely cold. 

Storm tomorrow Spacey... so they say anyway.

I'd still probably only give it one "bitter" but I should mention I'm actually wearing trousers.

9000 feet???!!!  Dang, that's like a mile up there.  I bet 12 degrees feels way colder up there.

LOL.  It was windy too.  Clear blue skies though.  That helps.  Plus five layers of clothing.   [sm_snow]

Where'd you go? Any decent snow left from that big dump a few days ago?

Perhaps I'm feeling warmer today because I'm wearing wool pants. I'll check the "real feel" when I get home.

Brighton.

Snow's great.  Conditions are B+ easy.  A little thin in spots with only about 60" base or it'd be full marks. 

There was still untracked powder on Sunday from the Thursday/Friday storm.  Not much and it's none too deep where it's steep but still... 

It's a light year for snowpack so far but the skiing/boarding is pretty good.

It is nice and warm in Brisbane as well.
Twoiron, are you in Victoria?
I hope you are not near the bushfires!!

I like Brighton, but I've never been all that excited with their snow unless you're there during or immediately after a storm. One nice thing about Brighton is that most of the huckers tend to stay close to the terrain park anymore.

About 10 years ago the only place I'd ever go was Snowbasin. Always good snow, great terrain, and almost never any lines. Oh and it was also cheap. Then, a couple of big magazine write ups and the Winter Olympics and suddenly it's $50+ for a daypass and 20 minute lift lines.  [sm_disgust]

I'm picturing them more as chaps.  Accented with velcro mittens.

22-24F  here with windchill of 12-15F

Yes I'm in VIC.

The fires are about 300kms away,  but the city is covered by a layer of smoke and has been for weeks now.... :o

I saw that on the news.
It must be a bit scarey!!!

33*F when I rode in this AM, currently 45*F.

I grew up with Big Cottonwood passes.  Two resorts unlimited for $175 per year.  Went up to $225 the last year right before I joined the Air Force.  Those days are long gone. 

Brighton is still a good deal for us though.  Unlimited passes for two kids totaling $185 plus a book or two of discount passes for myself and the missus.  Keeps us up there 2-3 days per month for about $700 for the season. 

It's a good mountain.  I know the Milicent side like the back of my hand and I'm learning the new (well, relatively new) lifts on the Majestic side.  After 25 years of skiiing I started boarding a couple of years ago and needless to say I'm not as good at the latter.  But I'm getting to where nothing on the mountain scares me too much.

Snowbasin is literally 19 minutes from my door.  We evaluated their deals and what costs us $700 at Brighton is $1800+ at Snowbasin.  Simply not worth it.  It's a fine mountain and all our friends ski there (military discount is da bomb - about 50% off or more) but Brighton suits us just fine for the $$$$.

Canadaia sent us a plane load of Fire Fighters earlier this week... to help put the fires oot.....

oot and aboot?

oot and aboot putting fires oot

woot
