That was Kirkwood, a ski area that is very high in elevation. They are thrilled as last year was a bust for the ski areas. Now they just have to be sure there are no avalanche dangers ( they blow up and set them off before a skier does) and the crowds will go crazy once they can get up there safely. It is raining hard again here. Ann Bodega CA (the rainy coast)
