It was a windy day at Whiteface and basically all of the lifts, except maybe the carpets down low, went on wind hold at one time or another.

The snow from this storm was notably very light and fluffy.

Between the heavy falling snow, the powder on the ground and the incredibly strong winds, this afternoon was a wild one at Whiteface.

With the base getting nice and deep, I’ve been playing around in the trees at Whiteface more and more in the last week or so.

And just like that, I’m halfway to the century mark.

This week has been up and down and all around in terms of ski conditions. Today was no different.

With a few inches of fresh snow on the ground, and snow in the air, this afternoon was a treat at Whiteface.

Just two days ago, I had a classic Ice Coast ski day at Whiteface. Conditions were fast and firm everywhere. Sharp edges were a must! Today? Not so much.

Sharp edges were a must this afternoon!

Yeah, you get wet. Big deal!

It was a gorgeous day on the mountain, one that felt well-earned after yesterday’s debacle.

Today was day 40 of my ski season. It was an odd day on the mountain.

The last week or so has been pretty cold here in the northern reaches of the Northeast, especially at higher elevations, and today we finally got a break from it.
