Smugglers Notch

No snow in the valley and it has been cold rain for most days during the week. Doesn't sound like a ski weekend but at elevation they got at least 6 inches of snow on top of a thin base. No ice and powder. Actually really good as long as you are not in love with the bottom of your skis! Went to Smuggs for the AM and found powder until 12:00, although I had to switch to closed trails around 10AM. Then I took the x-country skis out on the closed gap road. Nice snow there also. Surprisingly good skiing!
