The "Potential Storm Announcment (PSA)" (or is it Public Service Announcement...?) came out on Thursday about how we were gonna get the biggest storm of the year to date...that's like saying "it's great there no wind up here!" ..and then it gets windy.
Of course, the big storm didn't come. The 10-20" decreased to 3-5" in the forecast and then we actually got nothing in Ned. Oh well. It's a funny occasion when the forecaster apologizes on email to everyone.
The Pilot and AK came up anyways to see if we could find some fun in the EPC region again. Turns out, the new snowline is 10,000ft because as we drove up to the tunnel, it just started dumping...a lot. Another 5" of fresh had fallen and we were just finding gold everywhere. The wind of course helped deposit some 'sympathetic' snow too.

| The Pilot traversing probably the largest snowbank in this area. I want to come back in summer to see the elevation difference. No snow on the east side, and the wind deposits all the snow right under his skis. |

| The skin up is rather large (1.5 hrs at least) but the payoff is excellent. |
