Date Skied May 6th Sunday closing Day.
Temps low 40's cloudy in the am Sunny after 10 am
Snow (at 9.30 it was almost wet PP at the top) Everything was firm 500 ft down and turned to fabulous corn snow. Better than Sat IMO

Talked to Breeze in the Am and Irene. These folks just get it. Irene we'll work on getting you on board. I think we saw you make a few turns. I think the snow was better Sunday than Sat. I parked in C lot at the suggestion of Breeze. Sitting by the pond.:smile: Post skiing there were some folks having fun hangin. The lift started late due to some up top icing, but the snow was perfect around 9.30 when I was able to load. I saw Goblin84 early in the Am. SnowSeek and his 10% chance lol.:puke: I saw him early and we made turns together all morning. Terry... Jerry G and Snowseek seems like they will be joining us in the future years as guys who won't quit. (Can't forget the K folk here though.) Our legs were a little less engertic than on Sat. Jerry G caught up with us later and we follwed the same plan as Sat. Ski our a--es off. A bit more hiking at the botton, but not a complaint I could find. The only thing I did not do was upper wildcat. Beat me up Sat. Sunday it was not in the cards. I think Alley cat was closed down... The only trail they lost. Grooming was great. They left a little bit ungroomed to make it fun also. I called it quits around 12.30. The 3rd weekend in a row that I thought I was done forced me to move on. I had my fill. Wildcat ...again thank so much. The staff cares. Again no staff excuse, no amount of skier showing up excuse. Just service with a smile.
OW ya. Day 73 lift serviced. Beat last year. Amazing with the start we had.
Hiking is where my next venture will be.

Great bumps on Upper Wildcat! Skied it 4-5 runs, and it beat me up too, on Sunday.

What a great day! I left the camera at home, and later regretted it. Anyone got any pictures?
