Started the day off at 5:45 picking up Miskha at the house and hitting the road north. Pretty uneventful ride by did run into some pretty cool looking low cloud cover we briefly mistook as snow gun smoke for a minute.

We pulled into the K1 lot around 9:15 and were in the Gondola around 9:40 https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipMtkTACdVb8cUXjeeF4nRyuiofJMZjtwC9hxx7o
Mishka brought his MR110s and I was on my new MR SP95s. The snow was pure spring-style corn and was already bumped up by the time we go to the top. https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipN8yGWXEVUoeRpqlh1UcyXgUABzD5vrVx2ACQ-y
I had to do several edge detunes but got the new skis working pretty well. Still need to work on the mount position, but that is for another thread.
By the third run miskha noticed Puck It and we skied with him for the remainder of our day. (very nice to meet you J) I never was able to get pics of Puck It since I couldn't get in front of him

The day was perfect and we had a great time, some good laughs thanks to Puck It, and go the infamous day one out of the way!

it was a great day indeed especially with a great company. Conditions was a lot better than I expected… I'll take Sprint conditions any day over boilerplate

Don't think they groomed- but trail report said yes- I didn't get up there until 915 or so and bums were building. Quick
