Observations

The Face of June Mountain slid this morning. June Mountain pulled the plug on today. Hope everyones ok up there. The Rain must have rotted the subsurface facets under the old crust layer and not supporting the weight of the new snow. This should be a good warning for anyone thinking about heading out for a tour because the chairlift is closed. Careful out there.. keep it real mellow. be patient. its only the 1st day
