We Had a Bit of Snow

I took this photo this morning, January 3rd, from my home on Utah Mountain.  We had about 3 or 4 inches of snow, depending on where you measure, before it began to melt.  It was 71 degrees here on Saturday afternoon.  Snow and 29 degrees on Monday morning.  I always say, if you don’t like the weather here in the mountains, just stick around.

Cataloochee Ski Area, above Maggie Valley, had closed their slopes last week due to the warm weather and loss of snow on the trails.  Today they are blowing snow like crazy, and plan to open tomorrow, January 4th, at 9:00AM.  So, get your ski rack on the car, and get your skis waxed.  See you on the slopes tomorrow.  Cataloochee is now selling lift tickets online.  Go to Cataloochee.com/tickets to purchase your lift tickets without having to wait in a line at the ski lodge.

It has been an amazingly warm Fall and Winter so far.  Maybe 2022 will bring some more snow and good times on the slopes.  See you there.
