ya he probably thought it was his best day because he loves to ski crud and soft moguls more than powder, and maybe to just annoy me because i didnt get to go.

in that case, i can't imagine it being any better for him!

less traversing through knee deep untracked heavy snow.

did they groom everything overnight friday or did they leave a lot of moguls.

natural snow on avalanche, paulie's, zoomer, banshee, paulie's ext, bypass, vista way, taft, the hards, with occasional natural snow found in some areas. bumps will likely be set up and packed down by the end of the weekend on the front face trails and extension, bypass already is bumped and is ugly, imo. should be great bump action from right side of rocket all the way down to avalanche for a while.

Seasnon's over for me, but at least I was charging POW when it all went down.

Sorry to hear about the knee...been there myself. Is this a total blowout requiring surgery or something rest will fix? The snow was heavy with high moisture content, great for ski areas starving for snow but hard on knees.
