It’s snowing!!! Some good runs. Still better than east coast skiing. Westwood lift line moves fast.

Tolerable on groomed greens and blues but so little terrain open. Lines long, but they move. A day on skis is better than a day not on them!

Thin exposed rock and ice lift lines are also long

Groomed runs are skiable, but for late December coverage is still thin with noticeable patchiness. The Back Bowls and Blue Sky Basin remain closed, and off-piste terrain isn’t in yet. A couple of solid storms would make a big difference.

Dec 14 - 19. VAIL lower Avanti should have been opened, glad I got some runs in before the hordes and the very thinning snow got used up … Jet stream not our friend this year
