Expand Crowded but no reservation needed. They had a table opening up when we got there. Definitely busy in town...I saw a bunch of guys wearing team Switzerland jackets walking around. Seems like there are events going on somewhere... Assuming hockey 1 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted March 14, 2022 Report Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) Nothing major in terms of new snow...a dusting for the most part. According to the trail map no lookout lift, summit is open but no cloudspin (yet) no empire on LWF (yet). Let's see how it shakes out. Hoping the winds are tame although it looks to be blowing hard from the room here in town. sun supposed to come out later this morning. Edited March 14, 2022 by RidgeRacer Quote

Too good out here. Plus the hotel breakfast was really filling. Upper cloud spin is roped off and for good reason. Need to ski a few hundred down skyward and then go right to cut across into lower cloud spin which is wonderful 3 Quote
Zonked Posted March 14, 2022 Report Posted March 14, 2022 Glad you got to enjoy the snow after the storm. I was out skiing all Saturday and it was great. Pretty damn windy off the Gondola but it was excellent to ski on fresh snow. The snow was really piling up. I was hoping to get stuck in LP so we could ski again on Sunday and enjoy all that fresh snow that would hopefully cover whatever ice patches were still showing. 2 1 Quote
