February 12, 2026. We gambled and won.

Four days in a row- the weather forecast was for cloud to impact the flying operations in the mountains.

We rolled the dice and kept the single day tour on, even with the forecast.

A quick refresh overnight with 2-3 inches of new snow blanketed the upper elevations with soft snow skiing in north facing terrain and a “dust on crust” surface on solar aspects.

Front range cloud stacked against the canyons close to the lodge this morning but sometimes when that happens a little magic rolls in and the upper elevations and Lamoille Canyon are wide open.

Four different canyons and six runs later we finished the day defying expectations once again.

A full tour arrives this afternoon- some of the longest returning guests who join us each season.

Fire it up.

See you in the morning.
