I know, but the day when NV, Tamarack, North Bowl, and the Gondola are on wind hold, and Dipper and Comet are running half-speed, didn't inspire enough confidence in me to go try out a possibly difficult area without knowing what winds do over there.

I did hit the face, which was very nice for a while on the first day. The Sky and Canyon chairs were very crowded though, which is why I didn't spend that much time over there.

Hey-the wall wasn't completely groomed-only right next to the lift! The Cornice Chair (lift #6) at Kirkwood serves up some of the best terrain from one lift anywhere.
True, and I loved the Cornice lift as well....I could just go in any direction and find great terrain. I'd say 80% of my skiing in the afternoons was on that. (Too solid in the mornings).

Can't beat warn California sunshine skiing!
Completely agree. So nice to just sit in a lounge chair and relax in the sun, listening to some mellow rock at lunch, and it was perfect weather on the slopes as well...softened everything up, but never got slushy.
