Mt Spokane Report-Day 1

I’m very anxious to be skiing. It’s now the second day of Winter and my mountain is not open yet. I know the globe is warming but I do not want to attribute this late start to that. Rather, it’s just one of those years. We’ve had them before.

But now that this is something that dominates my daily rumination's, I’m going to start keeping a bit of a record here on Mt Spokane’s progress towards opening for the season.

The snow stake shows a solid three inches of snow on the ground over night. That’s a good start. Please note that the thermometer registers 40 degrees at the time of this capture. That thermometer has been stuck at 40 for several weeks. I have emailed the mountain about it and they have acknowledged it but, it remains at 40. So we will be keeping an eye on that.

And here is the look of the mountain at Lodge 2. As I said, it’s a start but until Old Man Winter starts to cooperate, we are a long way off from skiing.
