BREAKING NEWS: FIRST SNOW AT SCHWEITZER MOUNTAIN RESORT

Pretty much as expected, Schweitzer has received its first snowfall of the 2008-09 ski season. It looks like they got just a trace of snow, but they seem to have gotten lost in another snow shower since this photo was taken. I like to use Selkirk Powder Company's images because they update just about once every two or three seconds. To view their current image, visit Selkirk Powder Company's website. Last year's first snow was just around this time, about September 20th, so we are in good shape. However, bear in mind that this was a very cool storm more reminiscent of the middle of fall than the first full day. Still, it's always great to see Schweitzer in white.
