1-29-24 report

[Pow on the Mao]

i dumb and posted this in saddleback section somehow...
1-2" overnight. inversion cloud snow. more at bottom than top (2" on candyside... trace at SWXC) inversion line like 3,500-ft was still snowing lightly at bottom at 10am.

hi all-
we just moved up for winter. here's a report for folks who haven't been up in a bit. feel free to add!

-Bullies back to 'normal'; bathroom trailer gone (boo); PGA pavilion gone
-appears to be a new ski trail directly behind Bullies; new chasm connecting bucksaw unload to western most of new trails (eliminates sidestepping uphill)
-The Rack has a new breakfast sandwich outpost for weekend mornings
-new menu at Rack. Chef Hank from 45 North is now at Rack. food is much improved.

-seems like ~30" base depth. trees officially not open but skiable. just crusty and weird. 1 more storm
-KP not fully open yet. just haulback, widow/flume
-new magic carpet is a bubble. now on par with what more other resorts have. looks good down there.
-looks like sugarloaf finally figured out food trucks. the new-ish setup is very nice. good job.
-all this rain and ice locked in base at summit. setup well if we get snow. should stick.

Thanks for the report. I'll be up Friday for the weekend, might be looking for that Rack outpost.
