The storm from yesterday has moved out of the area.  It left about 1″ of new snow in the snow play areas.  So this is the best conditions we have seen since early this month.  The high temp should hit about 40 deg f today with clear sky and light wind.  There are no chain control on the roads and very little traffic.  So today would be a great day to go the the mountains.

The snow play conditions are still good.  The weather is clear with blue sky and high temps in the low 50 deg f.  There should be very little traffic this week so this would be the time to come up.  All roads are clear with no restrictions.  So grab the kids and a picnic lunch and come on up.
