Today’s featured image is from App Ski Mountain from Sunday morning.
It is going to be an incredible Monday on the slopes.
After the best week of the season so far, we are going to kick off the week with another great day on the slopes.
Rain moved through late yesterday, but the snowmaking teams took advantage of the cold air that moved in and refreshed the slopes so we aren’t going to miss a beat this morning.
The best part?
We could see some light snow in the northern part of the region later today.
I will certainly take that to start the week.
Most resorts will have the opportunity for snowmaking around the clock today if they so choose, and we should have several snowmaking windows this week.
That is pretty fantastic as we head into the holiday weekend.
