Snow Reporter Comments: The atmospheric river arrived with a splash and a flash yesterday, bringing snow, wind, sleet, graupel, rain, thunder, lightning – and stuff we aren't quite sure what to call. A salute goes to the weekday warriors who braved the elements and carved some turns. The storm left us with four inches of new snow on the stake, with more on the way this weekend. Expect firm conditions on the mountain today following last night's freezing temperatures. The mercury will range through the 20s and low 30s under calm and cloudy skies. A snow shower or two is possible this afternoon. Check your speed and keep your eyes open for other skiers and riders. Due to early-season conditions, we currently have no beginner terrain accessible from Moonbeam. 12 Days of Holiday Cheer continues today with a tie dye booth at Moonbeam Lodge. Go red like Santa, green like the Grinch, or mix and match from a wide range of colors.
