There's a reason that the Jay Cloud always bats in the cleanup slot. 6-8" of fresh powder is on the ground this morning, and what was grass yesterday is blanketed today. It's going to be pretty windy through the morning, so the Tram will start on wind hold, but the skies should clear and give way to a sunny but cold day.  There's a doubleheader scheduled, so don't abandon those seats just yet- another system comes through Monday to bring a few more inches of snow. With nearly a foot of new snow from dribs and drabs in the past 72 hours, and more snow in the forecast for next week, we're working our way back up to respectable powder stashes. Don't want to stand in line for tickets? You don't have to when you buy your tickets online and redeem at the base lodge kiosks. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. 

Charlie Parr w/ special guest Shane Goodwin brings an intimate evening of Americana and folk to the Foeger Ballroom tonight. Doors at 7 for an 8 pm, all ages show that features raw, soul-stirring blues, evocative storytelling, and masterful finger-picking. Tickets are still available, get yours now and don't miss this truly special event. 

So many deals, discounts, and events are queued up to give you even more of a reason to extend your winter adventures. Check 'em out below.
