Vail’s Chair 4 jump

Powder day before the end of the ski season and people were lined under Chair 4 Mountain Top Express to go off the big jump.  Not the best of pictures (snowing a bit), but you can see quite a few people checking it out and getting ready to go off the cliff up on top and then off the jump.

Groomers below on April 23rd, record snow with 524 inches of snow for the ski season including 12 inches on the last day of the ski season.

April 4th, 2 more inches of new snow in Vail

Oh boy, it looks like April might be our best month for snow in the 2009-2010 ski season.  Vail mountain reported another 2 inches of new snow at 6am.  Light snow all morning so far and more on the way perhaps on Tuesday.  Hope to get you pictures late this afternoon. 

Afternoon update:  it warmed up, so the snow at the bottom was turning to corn.  Most of the powder in the Back Bowls turned to mashed potatoes.  Bumps were soft.  Below are some pictures mostly from the Front Side of Vail Mountain.  Chris R.

Photo of snowy tree, snow clouds in the distance.  Not bad for April 4th

More snowy trees.  I’ll title this photo “Snow on Trees” and sell it for lots and lots.

Happy, happy, happy
