February 27th, 2007

Everyone has just returned from a really good day of riding and number of runs under their belt. Weather forecast is calling for continued blue skies. We are looking for some of that snow that is falling in the lower 48. AK needs it. We have had clear blue skies now for 3 weeks and the wind has been howling the past 5 days or so. That's the honest report. Everyone is having a great time and most are now headed in to see our massage therapist, Donna.  Stay tuned...
Tomorrow should be more of the same...

WE ARE OPEN!

Hello to everyone. We are back in Cordova and fired up to be home!  There is a lot of snow here at the PNH base as you can see from the photos. It feels like the first year, 10 years ago when we had 6 feet on the ground here at base...That's the good report. Now for the honest report....The winds have been howling the past 3 days and there is not as much snow in the mountains as there is here at base. The huge snowfalls that everyone has been claiming is true for all the coastal parts of Alaska. The higher and deeper we go, the less there is. We have found that to be wide spread throughout the Chugach as we have been in our new zone PNH 2, Girdwood, Valdez and now here in Cordova. With all of the reports coming out of Alaska with huge snowfalls, I was expecting the zone to be buried. Although not buried, it looks like it always has looked...PERFECT! We just need a re-set.

We have been in the zone now the last 2 days flying and riding in all of our ski areas hunting for good snow that has not been wind effected. It is out there and we are lapping it up. The current weather forecast shows a slight re-set coming maybe mid week, but overall blue bird is the call for the week. The guests are fired up!

I will try to be posting these updates each and every day so stay tuned. In the meantime, enjoy the photos that were taken today of Pontoon (The Holy Grail), The Massif, Sphinx and a few others. They all are ready! Check out the lack of Bergshrunds on the Massif...They are gone...

We are in Cordova and digging out.  Holy snow...there is snow everywhere here at base and the shovels are flying.  Our first groups arrive this Saturday and we can't wait to head out and see what awaits us in the mighty Chugach this season!
