Wind was light at Skyline. Rode up the hill 3 times during the first hour and then decided to take a break and go snowshoeing with my wife. We hiked up the north side of Bosco and saw the spot where Chasta flies between the trees - crazy. Wind came back at 4:30 after everyone else had left. It was good, but it was cold!!! Got to my car and the car thermometer said -6. Felt a whole lot colder in the 10 - 15 mph wind.

My wife and I saw a prism effect due to sunlight being filtered through blowing snow, similar to a rainbow, but had more of a round shape like a halo.

The only thing that I found surprising was the lack of new snow. Rush has a lot more new than Skyline.

BOO on light wind at skyline! saw your first glide down bosco's and it was great kenny! jake and spencer were gliding it earlier through the day. it's so cool to see you guys take off the top there and just glide down. i wish i had some more experience with gliding, otherwise i would have been trying it too. i had a couple good run ins, but chickened out. perhaps bill will post the video he took of jake and spencer gliding....
