Conditions were great everywhere with no sign of damage from the ice storm. Nearly everything was mowed flat and skied how one would expect groomed man-made on a 5 degree day. My car read 5F at 2:30, the summit was significantly colder but winds were mild.

No pictures due to the temperature.

Exceptions were rocket under the guns, whales on upper tramline and a decent if short bump line on the bypass.

Avalanche, rocket and gary's were all getting burried. The man-made blizzard seen driving through the notch was impressive.

What were the snow conditions? FGR? PP? I expected to hear about crunchies underfoot, since I understand there was about 12 hours of freezing rain into Friday morning.

Kind of a crunchy but edgeable surface. Actually pretty darned good considering the prior weather. Rocket was *sweet* under the guns. See my TR (I was there, too).
