Went boarding today up at the 'creek and damn... the damage around town from the ice storm was noticable.

There were trees down all over the mountain and more sure to fall as they're all completely covered in ice from that big storm that hit the northeast this week.

From the gondola you could see there tons of trees down all over the bike trails. Gonna need a lot of clean-up come spring... :monkey:

They had a few trails (one top to bottom run) on Vernon peak (the green all the way down) and two trails on South.

South was icy and they kept it closed on Saturday due to ice. Was still icy yesterday.

Vernon was decent with only a couple patches of ice.

They had the cab closed on Sunday due to wind, so you were forced to ride the triple chair all day. You could see all the downed trees and branches that boogie was talking about.

Diablo crew might need some volunteers to help clear the trails come spring. Looks like there will be a lot of work to do.

This isn't deadfall. It broken trees from the ice storm. They are broken all over the mountain and happened during the ice storm. Quite a bit landed on DH trails.


A few weeks back every tree on the mountain was covered in ice from roots to branches. The weight cause many trees to bend/snap in half. There is lots of damage from the storm.
