Resort or Ski Area: 2.21.11

Conditions: packed pow, sunny, windy, 20s

Trip Report: Didn't get going until noon today due to not feeling well (stupid altitude).

We expected crowds due to the holiday but lift lines were minimal. Started off skiing cruisers on Peak 7 and then moved over to Peak 8 as the day progressed. It was pretty windy so we didn't venture up to the very top of the mountain. Run of the day for me was Hombre off the 6 Chair. creamy windswept pow at the beginning and then some nice bumps further down the trail.

Did come across some hardpack snow, talked to a local on the lift and he mentioned it had warmed up last week and then got very cold again over the weekend making everything freeze up.
