*Mike Pechner's SnowCast!
Some resorts have had over 100" of new snow just since the 4th
of January. That represents nearly 1/4 of the season total at 7000 ft!
Still a few snow showers today left from THE LAST weather system for
the next week and a half as Mother Natures SNOW machine takes a well
deserved rest. Some SPRING like weather is expected next week as
daytime temperatures soar into the 40's with overnight lows in the
teens. Inversions on the ridges will make it warmer at night at the
8000 ft. level but cooler by day. Snow depths range from 5 feet on
lower runs to 13 feet at 8500 ft. Thats two to three times the depth
last year at this time. So if you like superb conditions, sunny skies
and dry roads, now is your time to head to the Mountains!

Offered three times throughout the season, twice in the form of
three day midweek clinics, and once as a three day weekend clinic.
The Alpine Women's Clinics are among the most popular in the West.
Technical skill, strength and above all- fun are top priorities,
as well as providing a safe and supportive atmosphere. Clinics
include three full days of skiing with our top female instructors,
video analysis, advice on choosing and fitting equipment, apres ski
and lunch. Open only to intermediate and advanced skiers.
SOTC CREW TIP: This is a GREAT time for you to learn how to enjoy,
with confidence, skiing or riding off the groom, with Alpine in
such fabulous condition.
