It was really a fun day. My back was shot by 2:30, but I had a blast right up until then. Was nice to meet everyone and get to ski with some of you. What a great mountain that is. Thanks for all of the advice, Jim. Once I can move again I'll get out there and start applying it

"The mountain picked up about 8" of snow from the storm that seemed to settle and set up a bit overnight. Still great skiing. Run of the day for me was Minya."

Tell me more about the snow conditions. This is all I can find.

Around 8" of surprisingly wet and sticky powder. It seemed to dry out as the day when on and it got slightly less humid than it was first thing in the moring. Perfect soft bump building snow. The manmade base on Minya was great, nice and edgeable. The base on a trail like Cliff was slick and more granular. Overall a very nice surface.

Brian has been running nonstop for a few days now. He'll get it up when he's actually home. Seriously... I haven't seen much of him since Wed. And he's at work at Sundown right now. I bet he'll have it up tonight, if our littlest one cooperates.

Men! Always thinking with/about the little brain, eh?

He hardly has a choice about "letting" me out this year. There's no stopping me!

That's the way it was yesterday...on Thursday it looked alot like your day Friday Bill. Thursday was cold, yesterday the temp got up near 32 and the snow got compacted a bit.

Lot's of fresh snow all day on Thursday. Sorry, no pics.
