Calm winds in the morning today should make any lift time on the upper mountain quite comfortable. In fact, East Ridge could be downright pleasant on a balmy morning such as this. Although there is snow in the forecast -light flurries today and potentially real snowfall on Saturday- there is also lots of sunshine in store for tomorrow, so just take it as it comes. The game plan? Go powder hunting in the woods today, cruise the groomers tomorrow and play in off-piste powder (fingers crossed!) on Saturday. No matter the weather, there's always good fun to be had! -KL
