Packer Powder/mush
50 and sunny snow is going fast. I think the base is down to 140 inches.

Day III I speant the day on the silverado, Broken arrow and the Granite lift. IMO the best areas on the hill. Silverado is a cliff band ridge that gives you butterflies just looking at it. You definately dont ski it if you cant see the bottom. Broken arrow brings you up in the opposite direction of all the other lifts so you can get the ridge that the tram goes up and over. I nicknamed it spankies ladder. This whole moutain is just sick. There is not a chair here that you cant get yourself into a whole lot of trouble quick. Last run I boot packed up the granite face. Much longer than the palisades pack. I dont know whether I am getting used to the pitch but the palisades shoots seemed tougher and scarier.
