Five days of great skiing at Lost Trail, MT. The mountain is not open mondays thru wednesdays and there was snow during the week so Powder Thursday lived up to its' name with 5-8" of fresh powder. An aggressive thinning program to remove beetle infested trees and reduce ambient temperatures to kill beetles, has resulted in an addition of lots of glade skiing and powder was still available on Friday. Three more inches snow arrived for saturday with flurries throughout the day kept the glades refreshed and the groomed slopes were delightful. As usual the locals proved to be friendly and lots of fun to ski with and new friends were made and old friends made it a point to say hi and take a run with us.
