Day 27- December 20,2014

Skied the Canyons with Cutter and Nina. It was overcast and pretty cold, with the beginning of a multi-day storm on our doorstep. Wow, they finally got another run open, Docs. You can ski to the bottom now. Vail Resorts and the Canyons have been advertising and touting their expanded snow-making all off-season but so far this season it has proven to be just another marketing line of bullshit. They use the excuse, "temperatures have been too warm" , but that excuse doesn't fly due to the fact Park City and Deer Valley are making plenty of snow to open more terrain. Frankly, I do not care about snow-making, -let's all wait for Mother Nature I say- but if these Mega resorts are going to make the claims and put it in their marketing, they follow through!

On a broader note, this is one of the primary motivators for why I started Free the Powder Gloves: the ski industry has evolved into an over-priced bullshit machine. Just be fair and honest...

Skiing today was ok, but we are desperate for lots of snow...
