THE DAILY DECISION (A WORK IN PROGRESS)
The above descriptions are meant to be a guideline. These descriptions are not all inclusive but an attempt to put some objectivity in my numbers. The idea is that a 1 and a 10 should be almost impossible to get. Only about a half dozen days should be a 10 at the most. The base must be at least five feet with some very recent powder and sun making the snow sparkle like diamonds. I know what you Hoodoo Regulars are thinking, every day at Hoodoo is a 10 regardless of the weather, but that is about fun and this is about the weather. A 1 should be equally impossible and probably will only come in the early season.
