The Week in Photos – 19 December 2010 December 19 2010, 9:36pm via nisekosnow.net

The beginning of the week saw the lifts finally open and gradually over the week the mountain opened up. Off piste is still pretty dense with sasa even after a good week of snow fall. The two below photos were taken Tuesday and the rest were taken Friday.
