Bluebird Friday, a stormy weekend and an empty bluebird Tuesday

Wow. What a start to the season!

Friday brought us the season’s first pow day, and what a glorious day it was! Dry, blower pow and sunshine.

Storms over the weekend, and Disney opened on Sunday offering a nice change from Lincoln laps.

Tuesday was once again sunny and bluebird!  Patrol worked their asses off and we were treated to tons of new terrain. Sugar Bowl, the Sisters and Silver Belt all opened for the first time this season. So exciting to see all those gates open!

And… 5 (?!) feet on the way this weekend. Saturday looks like positively brutal blizzard conditions, not sure even this die-hard storm skier will brave that.  Sugar is top-notch when it comes to operating in storm conditions but I don’t know what lifts they’ll be able to run Saturday.  I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just Jerome, Tree and Nob.

Just another Truckee local who spends too much time at Sugar Bowl.
