Mt Mike has been losing altitude with each groom. With the cool weather there doesn't seem to be much snowpack loss.

The spine is shown well on a sunny day. They're grooming about three passes wide, so it skis like an elevated highway.

I notice tower 4 is not immersed this year, the spine has moved east.

Tower 4 is looking very deep still but narrow.

Superstar was in full spring bloom yesterday afternoon [Saturday].
Goes to show, you don't never know
Watch each card you play, and play it slow
Don't you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down

Looks like its going down no matter what I do !!!

The closure happened on March 14 (Saturday) due to Covid. I had planned on skiing that whole week coming up so I could reach the 100 day goal but had to go home. Hoped that they were going to re-open in two weeks but that never happened so I had to go back up and close the condo for the season.
