At a time when most ski resorts in the northern hemisphere are winding down operations for the season, snow continues to dump on the Sierras, 14 inches in the last 24 at Heavenly to be exact. The season officially ends May 1st (extended from mid April), but they could keep the mountain open until June or even later. The base at Heavenly is still 144 inches. 12 feet of snow. Amazing.

Kristen and I caught a ride up with Russell and everyone else up this weekend is headed for Kirkwood, so we're waiting for the shuttle. It's a good deal, three bucks each way with door to door service. It will take to any of the lodges, but we'll probably head for the gondola which comes down right into town at Stateline.

The snow is still falling, but very lightly, barely visible. The sky is leaded gray in places, but it's banded and the sun peeks through patches of blue sky now and again. And there's no wind to speak of. You can check it out on the Heavenly Web Cams. It should be an epic day. I hope you have as much fun as I'm going to be having in about an hour.
