Day 86 - Whitefish

On the hill from 9:00 until just 11:45 - leaving for Schweitzer; 1" new snow overnight; 32° and overcast with heavy fog/cloud layer right to the bottom of the hill; skied the Head i.Speed GS Cheaters; Some of the stuff they tried to groom last night chunked up immediately when somebody skied it - a few other groomers seemed to freeze up underneath and stayed much nicer, at least by east coast standards.

Technically, you could still see the chair in front of you.

Day 84 - Whitefish

On the hill at 9:00 and skied until 3:00; 32° with a very high, bright overcast at 9:00; same cloud conditions with a 45° temp at 3:00; skied the Head i.Speed GS Cheaters on the groomers until lunch, then switched to the Rossignol Experience 98's; with the high cloud layer today, I could really see the top of the mountain - impressive; other than some of the larger cliff areas everything here is skiable; skied lots of steep tree stuff on the front and east rims today - a little heavy, but hey that's what I'm here for!

Day 83 - Whitefish

Late start this morning since I didn't get in until almost 5:00AM; On the hill from 10:30 until 2:30; 2" of cement last night; Overcast and 35° with little to no wind; Heavy cloud layer on the top third of the hill; visability on top at times was total white-on-white - in fact it was so bad they marked the center of the main trails with orange lollipops every 50 yards or so; today was get acquainted with the mountain day - I skied at least two runs in all open areas; this is a Big Mountain - pun intended; tons of snow here; tons of steeps here; tons of tree skiing here - a little different than VT, much more open in the trees and different wildlife too!
