I don't know what happened at Snow Summit, but at Bear Mtn it WAS SNOWING off and on most of the day (2-6-09). And when I left the Bear Mtn parking lot around 4:00 PM it was still snowing. On the drive home, snow turned to rain below Snow Valley.
Carving conditions were good at Bear Mtn, but visibility was patchy. In the morning I rode mostly at Silver Peak because the visibility was decent there. Geronimo was just fogged in.
In fact, carving got better as the day wore on. In the morning, snow was a little soft, then it firmed up later in the morning.
Around 1:00 pm, the sun broke through and I headed over to Geronimo. It was super fun for 2 hours, then got socked in again.
Definitely going again on Sunday:biggthump
