Clicked in at 11:30. Mostly cloudy skies. Surface was firm but edgable. Stinger was roped off. It looked like a bomb exploded. There were enormous piles of death cookies ranging in size from actual cookies to a suitcase or steamer trunk. They were using one of the pieces of heavy machinery to moves 4 or 5 rails while the new PB groomed things out. I skied from 11:30 until 3:15 and they were working on Stinger the entire time. Very interesting to watch them work. Temptor was roped off the entire day as well.
I skied everything on the mountain today. NE bumps were a mess. Canyon and NE were fun. I picked along the sides of the trail for some softer snow. Stinger was nice. Ex bumps were rutted up with last nights tracks. I didn't even want to bother with them. I did 10 runs by 1:30 and took a break just as the sun was coming out. After my 15 minute break the sun was bright and softening things up a bit. I did 10 more runs after my break and hit the Ex bump every time. They soften up just enough and were fun as hell. I am spent. 20 runs in less than 4 hours with the last 10 runs bee-lining for the Ex bumps. I almost called it quits until I saw the sun starting to emerge. I am glad I stayed.
