The mountain was on lightning hold until 10am this morning. There were many more skiers and boarders there this week end. I usually, arrive early and park next to the $25 preferred parking. However, had to park in a far away lot this morning. the weather was calm when I parked the truck. By the time I put my boots on, it changed to almost blizzard like conditions. So, I took the shuttle to the lift, and someone said they were on lightning hold. Sounded a bit crazy to me. Was still early and as I was about to enter the rest room in the ski shop, I heard a loud, "Crack". There were seven more and the mountain didn't open until 10am.
The back side was on wind hold and didn't open. A girl from ski patrol said the gusts were 90mph.
Anyway, I got four good runs in and decided to head home. It became very windy and figured they might close the mountain.
