Report 1. Today should be Thanksgiving. I am thankful I am able to watch the sunrise across the Ten Mile Range. I am thankful that I have a nice warm home, because my outside temp reads, “-12F” @ 7am. Breck is reporting 1″ yesterday. I will head out about 8:30am to verify. Current year reported snowfall is 74″, and 36″ base at the top. We are setting up for a good year.

Report 2. Got to the hill at 10. About 8*. Spoke with a patroller. Evidently we had a temperature inversion. -5 at the top patrol shack, and -12 in town. Skiing was very good. I can’t remember November skiing this good. The front side groomers were very nice. Quiet snow. Peerless bumps were soft. Inferno on E-lift was EXCELLENT. Nothing but the tops of a few pine trees to hit. The creek at the bottom of the runs is flowing so be alert to that. E-Lift and Peak 8 access is currently closed. However, Peak 10 is open and looked good.
And today was so cold, even the wind didn’t come out. It was quite a nice day to ski Breck. Wear a neck gator, a few extra layers and no problem. Lift lines were minimal, and the skiing was fun. Get on up here!
