I loved:
poaching fresh tracks in the woodsI hated:
the deep scratches on my new boardsLift/trails closed:
Most of the "steep" onesLiftline waits:
"Upper Mountain" is the way to go - slower lifts but no waitQuality of moguls:
What?Three to five inches of light-dry new snow over night coated the mountain in a
thin blanket of freshness. Good to see some natural snow in the trees. Most of
the advanced terrain was closed but many opted to duck the rope in search of
the new powder. Those who treaded lightly found marginal goods near the trees,
others will spend some time in the garage with a candle and a stick of ptex.
All things considered, not a bad start to our season. Long range weather shows
a much more substail storm setting up around New Year's eve.

Sierra Summit is located at Huntington Lake in the Central Sierra about 50 miles East of Fresno off Rt. 168. Real fun mountain, great family atmosphere and inexpensive lodge (with cozy apres bar) located at the base. As the crow flies it is about 20 miles southwest of Mammoth Mtn, which means it gets plenty of snow.
