Today it is supposed to be 93 degrees on the ground at 4800' today. Cooler than the last few days, but still pretty warm. But the real eye opener is the forecast for nine degrees Fahrenheit at top of the lift at 18,300'. Plenty of clouds late in the afternoon (you can see them  on the satellite at 7:30 AM to our west over the Cascades). Combine that with lift 800 to 900 fpm on average. Here we are in the wild west.

Thankfully the winds are forecast to be light out of the south at 10 knots at 18,000'. After today they are supposed to be higher.
