They are, but they are worse, lawsuit? Things aren't going so well at work. Said hi to the Birdman, and shredderofgnar, another NY'er, bump connoisseur.

Looks like I'm going to stay overnight and do at least a half day tomorrow. Ran into a guy with a ticket for sale for tomorrow, $20. It is supposed to be nearly 20° warmer tomorrow, 75°. Any suggestions for cheap, bare bones accommodations near K?

Ended up at the Highlander rt 7 Rutland, $49 tax included, one star, I see why, that's OK, right up my alley, at least no regrets for forgetting my swim trunks:D thanks for the tips. Are you skiing tomorrow? I'll PM you my # if you'd like to share some turns.

I could have used better edges for the first few hours this AM. There was a hard freeze on Fri. night and it really didn't soften until about 11AM. Fortunately, the hordes didn't arrive until 10AM, so the fact that there was really one skiable lane about two cat tracks wide on the headwall for everyone wasn't that bad!

There is no snow beyond the snow-fence and the glacier on top is down to 10 feet. The headwall probably will not be the place we'll be walking on June 1.

I get the sharper edges. Towards the bottom the was a scraped off spot that was sketchy.

I agree with your assessment.

Last week I broke out my rock skis to ski Skyelark, I made a few passes on Superstar with them too, their edges are nonexistent, I missed the ability to edge on the exposed base in the troughs.

Not supposed to get nearly as cold tonight, low 44°. Looking forward to some early morning turns before the hoards arrive, and people start launching themselves at me.
