Conditions: Powder, PP, HP, Machine Made and Ice

Drove up this morning after waiting for the schools closed anouncement. Arrived at 10:30. First flakes at 11am. Became very hard through the end of the day. Edges became fluffy between the ice. They were blowing on Racers when we arrived, but they stopped y noon. I don't know why they are not blowing right now, they need it. It's Xmas and we dont't have Clairs yet.

At least 6" by 4pm. Maybe 8 or 9 now. Light snow is hanging on right now. Everything skied well with a icy base under powder. The corner on Minya and Hellgate was sweet.

What did they blow on Racers...felt like cement!!

Not sure... My first run down Racers was a disaster.. I tend to stay on the right side of the trail and had no idea it was all rocks before the snow.. :(

TRASHED my new board... It's fixable... But out of commission for a few days..

Subsequent runs were right down the middle where the snow saw... :)
