The forecasted high wind warning rolled through the Ruby Mountains today.
Unflyable conditions with strong winds.
We loaded the snowcats and headed for the top of Conrad. The cat road is in rough shape with ice covering much of the lower road from snowmelt and the recent melt/ freeze cycle.
Actually the road is impassible. One cat was able to make the top of Conrad while the other was forced to turn around due to road conditions.
Windy, cloud and cold temperatures caused the skiing to be sort of like the cat road- not very good.
That is today. Thankfully we have a beautiful lodge, good food, hot tub, sauna and a great crew working hard when the skiing is less than average.
Tomorrow the skies clear and the wind calms.
See you in the morning.
