Still Early Season at Red

I actually did get up Motherlode Chair today. Fresh tracks looked to be waiting all over the place. It was a brochure quality scene, but if it looks to good to be true.... Most of the runs on Red and Granite are still closed, officially the resort is at 17 out of 87 runs open. We have had some amazing snow over the past week but unfortunately there is no base to support it. A lot of people have been ducking the ropes and making tracks, but is still looks a little to "early season" for my liking. The Christmas spirit prevails on the mountain, everyone seems to have a positve outlook on the situation. Possibly because the forecast looks promising. We are expecting 15 cm tonight. About 4 cm has fallen so far and it is still coming down strong.
