Hit Hyak today. Snowline was about 2/3rds of the way up, so got a little wet. But the snow wasn't nearly as hard as I expected it to be (good job, groomers!) and the lack of crowds was fantastic. I'm hoping we get JUST enough Friday traffic for The Summit to keep us open Fridays next season. :)
I REALLY need to find my goggles, though. Snowflakes hitting your eyeballs at speed aren't pleasant and my glasses don't do well in perception.

First day skiing on my home mountain this season! They're running the lift I can see from my house on Fridays this year and I'm super happy about it! The snow was great and the crowd not nearly as bad as it will likely be tomorrow. :)

On the other side of my house, the Hyak Sno-Park lot is nearly deserted, as opposed to already hard to find a spot in because it's a Saturday in winter. My theory is some of the crosscountry skiers and snowshoers are there, but the families with sleds and dreams of building a snowman aren't. Which is good, because while I trust most skiers to avoid hyperthermia and frostbite, I can't say the same for random sledders.

It's so cold I don't want to sit in my normal coffee spot because the chill coming through the insulated curtains is too much.
There are more cars across the road for Hyak's opening day than I anticipated. I hope the people in them realize how low our predicted wind chills are (-20 something) and are dressed appropriately.
Wish I was skiing, but I'm not woman enough for this.
