Saturday March 3: Arrived at the mountain at 8:10am, got the girls settled into Ski Camp and Day Care, booted up and were on the first lift by 8:40am. Conditions were great, they got 18" on Friday, temps were already close to 40 with the sun beaming down. After 3 runs, we were both dripping bullets, so a quick wardrobe change and back out. I was just in my softshell and spring gloves..Bromley left alot of terrain ungroomed which was great, it took a bit for it to soften up as there was a thin layer of crust on the top of the freshies...the trees were awesome (Plunge/Avalanche/Glades) the ungroomed stuff was forming bumps all day. Around 2, the clouds rolled and the snow started falling, by 4 there was another 2-3 on the hill, just awesome, there were fresh lines everwhere, some nice thigh high drifts to pow through....great day...

Sunday March 4 An additional 2-3 fell overnight...Arrived just a tad after 8, more cars in the lot than yesterday, but quickly realize they were all racers so i know they'd be keeping to themselves..ran into my buddy and his GF who drove up Sat night, so we skiied witht them all day..conditions were just unreal...a tad cooler than Sat, but it was snowing all day...pretty heavy at times...the ungroomed trails were now some great bump runs, still found some untracked lines in the trees...picked up our 4yr old at noon from ski camp, had lunch and skiied with her until about 2 when she was just done, we took her from the summit (run-around) and all the greens imbetween..(we were a bit disappointed in the ski school, they just kept all the kids on one learing trail the entire day and a half, we watched this group and they were good enought to take the sun lift and do those trails, my daughter was bored doing the same trail over and over) anyway, she like ski camp overall and thats the main thing. my wife was done too and took the little one in for the day, so did my buddies GF, so it was he and i for the next 2 hours!!!!!!! bumps, trees, bumps, trees, reapeat.....skiied until 3:55 and honestly dont know how i walked into the lodge, my legs were absolutly barking.....

Just a fantastic weekend, best conditions/weather we've had in a long time..so nice to ski and not have to fight with your edges/worry about the underlying surface....awesome!!!

Was there on Monday, picked up another 3 to 4. Heavy winds eventualy shut down the lifts at 3. Squalls all day, every other run was either sun or heavy snow. Awesome day overall.
