4" fluffy powder over wet icy base. Poor skiing conditions but beautiful scenery. Sunny and snow covered laurel and tree branches. Keep doing that snow dance. Touch the picture and it rights itself.

Laurel has about 2-3" powder over a mostly frozen base. Skier reports conditions are 4 out of 10. Rock skis are recommended. Keep doing that snow dance.

Laurel Mountain is good, get up there! Sorry about the picture just turn your head sideways. Woot!

3" on top of icy/wet crud makes for OK skiing with wet spots abound. The weather forecast isn't helping. Are you doing the snow dance?

Laurel is beautiful but the skiing sucks. The ground is still wet underneath. Laurel Ridge reports good coverage. Keep doing that snow dance. Will update as conditions improve.

So, the sun came out which made for a beautiful day but, it ruined the trails. Still wet underneath and sticking. Keep doing that snow dance. Soon, I promise.

3" new powder over wet base. Ground needs to freeze before skiing. If you want to claim the first ski of the season go for it but bring lots of wax. Woot!
