This forecast for this past week showed a six straight days of snowstorms. Those snowstorms turned to rain in the lower elevations, quickly wiping out the snow in the hills around town. The resorts managed to keep a good bit of their snow, but snow quality was pretty poor.
Solitude opened Friday, the third resort to open in Utah. Solitude unveiled two new high-speed lifts, Moonbeam and Apex. Unfortunately, neither lift goes anywhere of value unless you are new to the sport or, in our case, if nothing else is open.
We ripped groomers for a couple hours and headed home. Not much else to report. But a day of skiing is better than a day without skiing.
