With rain in the forecast for today I started my weekend early- arrived to blue bird skies and mild almost spring-like temps with sweet packed powder, a carver's playground. Upper Winisook was the only bumped up trail but the middle was a swath of ice.

Upper Yahoo had small wales which were fun for some...

...but not for others like these little kids who wanted nothing to do with them & had to be "rescued."

There's also a huge berm on skier's left on Algonquin providing some interest. Other than that everything was flat. The tree areas are snow covered as you can see but not enough to put them in play. Riding the gondi I met a Slovenian kid (or was it Slovakian?) & his father who'd flown in for a boarder-cross comp being held today. There's a new X-course area below the Longhouse lodge. I wished him luck, then he left me in his dust.
Meanwhile, up in Area 51 they were setting rails.
