Day 2 at Solitude. Beautiful warm spring weather effectively taking most low traffic areas out of play (manky stuff) but great on the groomers and bumps Started on Eagle with such steep groomers as Challanger and Serenity. Moved over through the middle taking Apex and the new summit lift. The center of Honeycomb Canyon was groomed so took the wife for a tour down there to show her the scenery. Nice lunch on the deck at Moonbeam and then some mogulruns with the boy off Powderhorn, Sunrise and the summit.

Nice. I had a nearly identical experience up there at Soli today 4/4. The real warm temps do a number turning fresh snow from last week into bubble gum. Cooler weather coming tomorrow
