It's early in the season, we got snow, and it's looking spectacular up there. But don't let it fool you - the skiing is terrible. It's all about the base. Or as Meghan Trainor puts it, 'all about the bass'. And she's right.
We got snow but no base. So the skiing is very bumpy and stop and go. You'll be going along and break through the breakable crust and your ski tips will catch in the grass. Kinda brutal. And up high the wind has scoured everything into drifts and bare alpine tundra.
However, what's up there now is the base - so after the next snow fall (fingers crossed) we ought to have good skiing. And even if it rains, the snow and melt cycle ought to have knocked down the grass and bushes some.
Still it is beautiful up there, and skiing is skiing!
