This perhaps is true. Took my 4 y.o. out late in the afternoon on sat. over at carinthia. Down, long john to whatever and back to carinthia base. She got down despite the bumped up fresh, ungroomed 15". Took about an hour...with multiple stops so she could eat some of the fresh. Daddy "eats the fresh" in a different way.

About the only negative thing I experienced at MS on saturday was that i didn't have one of those goggle squeege things to keep the lenses clean in the AM. The Northface was beyond nice, anything lower angle and ungroomed could get a bit challenging. Just a great day, which got even better the rest of the weekend.

If last weekend turns out to be the last mid-winter conditions weekend this season at MS, boy did it go out with a bang!

I agree with DrJeff- The only bad thing this weekend was the freezing drizzle and fog Saturday morning. My wife wears glasses and she couldn’t keep her goggles and glasses clear of ice so she headed back to the condo and left me at the mountain. I’m glad I switched to contacts earlier this year. Sunday was GREAT! Somehow overnight the heavy snow turned into nice soft powder and the added inches Sat night and Sunday morning helped too. Since I was skiing as a single I heard lots of complaining even Sunday. They all wanted flat corduroy and they didn’t like any bumps at all. I added that everyone can look good on fresh corduroy and conditions like this helps you improve your skiing, but people still bitched. I thought Sunday was one of the best days of the year at Mount Snow.
