It’s almost time.
A surprise great storm last night with powerful pre-frontal winds and heavy snow at the lodge.
10″ of new snow at 9,000 feet in the last 12 hours increasing the Ruby Mountains to an impressive 156% of normal.
We are in the middle of our final Holiday Dinner weekend at the lodge which finishes a sold out weekend tonight with dinner for 49 guests.
The aircraft arrives on Monday, guides arrive Wednesday, guide training begins Thursday and the first guests of year 48 arrive on Sunday January 12th.
Here we go.
Long range weather calls for a high pressure ridge beginning around January 8th, then a major pattern change to winter weather mid-month.
