Not even going to ask what the park will be like, I already know the answer to this. But what's the conditions usually like? And any other advice you. Guys might have

In early December there's usually pretty nice snow conditions. If you're lucky you'll hit it right and catch a big storm.

The park will be non existent. The mini park will be open with a few small jumps and box rails.

I've had years where we are fully opened with pow. and years where we have like one trail and no park. So its really up to mother nature. typically a few runs. maybe a few small jibs.

It's like the lottery, really.
I always have high hopes but shitty odds.

Complete luck of the draw. I have had some of the best powder skiing of the season on opening day and others seasons where you ski vagabond into Christmas

I was out there last year the week before Christmas, we caught a pretty good storm driving in and had great snow for a couple days. I saw on instgram this morning that it has been snowing out there the past couple days. I'm heading out with MSU ski club this year.

We've gotten 40 inches on the mountain in the month of October so it looks like we're gonna have a pretty solid early season.

Its been dumping in the boat. Snowmaking has begun top to bottom on buddys run off storm peak. Over 40 inches since october 1st. currently snowing as I type this. If this pace stays december will be good. And we will probably have a small park near the base.

Just read that they had 27 inches total in the last storm and now over 50 total since Oct. 1. I'm headed out first week in March, hopefully we catch it just right.
