Impression of Lone Peak

It looks as if the cold brought an inversion this morning.  The fog below and sunshine on the peak made for a beautiful, if fleeting, effect on the resort cam—Claude Monet paints Lone Peak.

After 14 inches of new snow earlier this week, Big Sky is reporting 24 inches at mid-mountain and 30 to 40 inches at the top of the mountain.  Resort spokesman Dax Schieffer said, "Saturday is shaping up to be one of the best opening days we've seen in my short 10 years here."
