Icicle TV joined local legend Jim Jack this past friday for a morning of fun in the sun.  The ski area reported 7 inches of new snow in the previous 24 hours, and a temperature of 15 degrees at 7:00 AM.  The previous day’s storm teamed up with strong winds to create a lot of wind deposited snow on lee slopes.  The cold temperatures overnight helped to suck  moisture out of the snow,  which gave the surface a velvet like texture.  Here are some images captured from Friday january 27th.  Enjoy!
