It is looking good this week.

As I look out the window at Dinner Plain right now, its raining and windy. The cams up top show poor vis.
Our 11 year old has headed up, he’ll ring in with a snow report about 11:00. I remember when I was young and keen like that.

Yeah, I’ll get them signed up for sure.
They love telling everyone how the park should be built, the kickers are not big enough haha

I would consider myself like a 11yo, I was up there in the rain and wind, only I think the kickers are to big - I have to go them to prove myself, I’m too old to want them bigger, that’s why my camera is so low the air looks better wink
