Introduction: First day of Junior Race Program. Drove up at 6 AM and made it in 2:15 from Central New Jersey. Race Program meeting was in Discovery Lodge. Haven't hit that beginner hell since my kid was 4. Luckily there were not too many people there. Mostly just the Race Program people.

Weapon of Choice: Rossi Oversize VS ti 158 & Rossi race stock boots.
Chose the race equipment because the grooming report was showing everything as being groomed to death.

Conditions: All the officially open trails were groomed to death and had good coverage, but lower Belleayre Run and one lower green trail were lacking base with grass poking through. Didn't ski Roaring Brook. Mohawk, Onteora & Wanatuska were in great shape. Dot Nebel was fantastic, top to bottom. Friend & I poached closed lower Yahoo, and it was sweet, with all the folks on the lift staring at us thinking bad stuff about our actions.

Weather:
Cold and mostly cloudy.

Lifts: No lines at Seven. Short 1 minute waits at SuperChief mid-morning and sometimes at Tomahawk in the early afternoon.
