The snow watch is on in Indiana…..but there aint no snow. According to the Ski Peaks webpage the current conditions are bad:

CURRENT Snow Report at Paoli Peaks
Anticipated OPENING DATE: December 24 – 27, 2001
Operating Hours: ~Cold weather is very slow in arriving, but the good news is that it will be cold once it’s here right around christmas. We’ll see you on the slopes soon.
Snow Base: ~
Snow Surface: ~
Trails Open: ~
Lifts Operating: ~

This is doublespeak for there aint no snow, and don’t hold your breath for more snow. We (the church group) are tentatively scheduling our ski trip on Jan. 11-13….only 3 weeks away. Definitely not a long enough time for a good base.
I hate Paoli. It is one of those places that is good to learn to ski at, but really is too small for the intermediate skier. Our group organizers absolutely refuse to even consider North Carolina as an alternate destination. Paoli is such a hit and miss for snow. You have to time it just right for snow, or else you could be miserable with 50 degrees and rain.
