Good to get up to the mountains for a weekend. Lift lines were pretty short; although longer than I remember for the typical Saturday at the Cat. Conditions were really good on most of the mountain. Groomed stuff was soft, bumps were pretty nice in areas, woods were pretty skied off, but there was still fresh to be found, even over a week after a storm. Brought my buddy Evan along for his first "woods skiing" experience... I'd say he had a good time and maybe he will chime in with a few more pics. Anyways, here's what you are all looking at the thread for. Upper Wildcat was skied off early, Lynx was nice pretty much all day. Polecat was nice for most of the day. Lower Catanery was pretty icy, Copy Cat was great, TopCat was pretty good and Black Cat was awesome! Hopefully they keep blowing some snow on the gondi line so the spring skiing will be good with some T2B bumps!

Yup, Wildcat was a blast Saturday especially early. Great pics! Way to get after it.

Did you get out Sunday? It was ugly with 40+ MPH winds and frozen precip at top with snow frozen hard due to overnight rain. Slow, sticky snow lower half of mountain. Skied AM only and beat it outta there for lunch and early ride home.
