Cough, cough…sorry boss, can’t make it today…too busy making fresh tracks on the mountain this morning! 🏔️🎿 ❄️ From @mtbachelor’s 4/4 snow report: “We accumulated 2” of new snow overnight and we’re still receiving a steady stream of big, fluffy flakes. Most of the overnight snowfall came in the early am, while temps were in the low 20’s, making for some true blower pow as hoped. Today’s forecast calls for temps in the 20’s with moderate winds and another 2-4” of snow expected, which could be just what it takes to get free refills out there today.”
