Hey, It's Warming Up Out Here !

"Warm" is a relative term some days, and compared to
yesterday, it is definitely warmer today at -18C to start
out with and rising to -13C or so, just after noon.

That will continue to improve somewhat over the course
of the next couple of days and thank goodness, there are
no "plus" values in the temps, so we will have nothing but
stable and improving snow surfaces for the foreseeable future.

The open run count is at 80 so far and there is a very nice
mix of trails on all sides of the Mountain.

With any luck, we will see snow today. It will probably be in
the form of squalls that pass through, but who knows, maybe
it will just start and stay snowing for a while, we'll just have to
see.

There is ongoing Snow Making around the Mountain, so be
careful going through those areas.

FUNCTIONAL "HOW TO HINT"...

If you do pass Snow Guns, do so SLOWLY to prevent airborne
snow particles from icing up your goggle lenses.

If you go too quickly through the falling blown snow, your
lenses will "run into" the airborne particles, and those particles
may or will stick to the lenses. This occurs because your
FORWARD velocity is greater than the particles DOWNWARD
velocity. There are only 2 ways to remove a film of snow
particles stuck to your goggle lenses:

1) Scrape them off. This is a mechanical process that can
damage the lens coatings and leave visible scratches that
can greatly reduce clear vision through the lens. Another
thing that can happen there is that you end up smearing
mushy stuff all over the lenses causing blurred, unsafe vision.

2) Go into a warm area, let the lenses thaw out, dry them off
and head back out. This is the only safe way to protect your
goggle lenses, BUT, it takes a lot of time and it will cost you
at least 1 run.

The moral of the story is: If you go SLOWLY around the
areas of falling Snow Blowing, you can avoid particles
hitting and sticking to your lenses. Basically, when you
go slowly enough, the particles DOWNWARD velocity is
greater than your FORWARD velocity, so you don’t
"run into", or get "hit" by them.

It takes only a few seconds to slow down, saves either
damage or the need to go in and ultimately is far less hassle.

Watch out and around for traffic in Snow Making areas,
because people who may not be as smart as you are,
may not be able to see as well and could end up in your path.
