We’ve been waiting, some more patiently than others, but it looks like it is actually on the way.  Of course I don’t want to jinx it but the Powder Predictor says its coming, so it must be.  The Birds of Prey race is going on at Beaver Creek this weekend and the weather will be perfect for that.  In fact I’m heading over there in just a few minutes.  I’ll post a picture once I’m there.

But Sunday night is when the real action is going to start.

Snow Snow Snow Snow.

Now don’t take what I’m saying the wrong way.  There is still plenty of snow up on Vail Mountain.  The skiing isn’t half bad.  In fact, they just opened up lifts 3 and 4 today.  So we have some new terrain for the weekend. Of course it is all machine made snow. But the crews here in Vail are experts at making the white stuff.  They deserve lots of thanks from all of us.  So if you see one of the snowmakers, although they sleep during the day, give them the kudos they deserve.
