Thursday Tease

A little storm for us this Thursday.  No snow in town yet, but Sugar Bowl is getting a little dusting.

Sugar bowl sure looks nice with a fresh coat.

Another one still looks on track for Saturday , but it might be a bit too warm.  Keeping my skis crossed it stays cold enough to snow the whole storm.  A layer of our good old Sierra cement for a base would be perfect.

Fake snow and real snow

Looks like Sugar is serious about their opening date.  Snowmaking is underway!  Here’s some pictures from their web cams yesterday afternoon.

For those of you who aren’t satisfied unless its the real deal, it looks like we might be getting a decent storm in the Thursday night to Saturday range.  Keeping a close eye on this one and thinking positive!

 

Thanksgiving bowl

Sugar Bowl has announced an opening date!  November 26th.  That’s right, just 15 short days away.

After a sunny week bicycling and worrying over the forecast, I was totally prepared for a December opening like last year, but it seems Sugar is stepping up their game.

See you soon!  -JS
