The telemark free ski contest qualifier was today on the Keyhole slopes
here at Alpine Meadows. The guys (and gals) seem to have notched it down a bit from previous years, but I suspect the old compacted snow has a bit to do with the conservatism apparent. In the few runs I watched they were most interested in actually making it down in one piece rather than hucking off the rocks. Some snow potential tonight - if it arrives it may help the contest some. Forecast to snow for the next week but no dump, more of a snow drizzle. All last week it was spring skiing - old crust warming to mashed potatoes for some nice off piste action. If the snow arrives it's a restart on winter. |

It was somewhat spectacular the year I was out there and watched a bit of the action. As I recall, we preferred to ski than to watch that day. It was a rather good day as I recall. .. |

If the snow arrives it's a restart on winter. The snow seems to be going in the wrong places this year. I shoveled a foot of wet heavy stuff off the sidewalk this morning, but there wasn't much more than a dusting up at the ski hill. And don't get me started on Texas and Florida... //Walt |

It looks like we could get 'significant accumulation' Wednesday and Thursday. .. |
