Any first hand account of conditions? Looks like the wind is really blowing, wonder how much is getting swept off the mountain!

We skied all day today; the Basin side and Silver Creek both had nice snow, the snow continued lightly throughout the day and we never really saw any ice patches. The Western Territory didn't have much in the way of powder at 11 when I was there, a couple spots were eastern packed powder, but the surface conditions were pretty good. They had the snow blowers going on at the Western Territory so I only did two runs there. Same with Silver Creek.
It skied more like 8-9 inches. I'm not complaining!!!! The crowds were getting a little heavy toward the afternoon, that's when we headed over to Silver Creek, where we waited behind 3 groups to get on the lifts as usual :) I will try to upload a few pics, I've never had success with that before but keep your fingers crossed.
The wind wasn't terrible either. Pretty typical for Snowshoe, blasting at the top but not bad down below. I don't know how those first-evers learn anything at the top of Snowshoe on Skidder!
Concentration!
Here are a few pics and a video from today. I can't figure out how to get them embedded here.
