We hope you got a chance to come up yesterday to enjoy some springtime fresh snow and fun pow turns! It's looking wintery here again, with snowy trees and Mount Shuksan covered in white, but we’re expecting the stormy weather to fizzle out. By tomorrow we should see clearing skies and the Easter weekend is looking like beautiful sunshine. The slopes are in outstanding condition with the new snow we’ve received, and the abundant sunshine this weekend will take care of all your vitamin D needs.
