Only got 4 runs in so didn't have a great sampling of the conditions, but the sample I got was pretty great (coming from someone who has to luck out to hit powder days )

Conditions: Ungroomed trails: Powder, mostly tracked; some scratchy spots. Groomed: packed powder; Woods (I'm not an expert for finding untracked MRG woods by any means): More powder than trails, tracked but some random untracked parts.

They reported only 3" in the AM report, but it snowed steadily all morning, and felt like a lot more than that (of course, it had snowed close to 3 feet during the week).

Report: Only got 2 runs on the double and then 2 on the single. By midmorning the single line was over 30 minutes, I think, maybe closer to 40, but I really wasn't timing it at all.

Sampled some new-to-me woods off the double and the single. Conditions were great. I UNgracefully had the opportunity to twice jump the two cliff sections on lower Liftline--the first time they were open when I've been there. Only lost a ski once Very soft landings, so it didn't matter.

It was lots of fun, and I only wish I could've stayed longer. We had a long ride home, it was snowing steadily, and my dad was pretty tired already. But while I only got in 3 hours, it was still a great day. I really love that mountain.

Some woods from the top of the single:
