Saturday 3/3-What a day! Love it when the weather forecast is screwed up and calls for rain. Nobody showed up, neither did the rain. First run I saw a cloud, then bluebird skies the rest of the day. Upper 40's, with the sun it felt like 65. Awesome day for natural bumps. Upper Xover, Lower K, and Clairs were as sweet as it gets. Spring snow that firmed up a little at day's end. What a nice change from February's flat hardpack.

Sunday 3/4-What a difference a day makes! Temps about 10 degrees colder and dropping, no sun. Back to flat hardpack. Most trails groomed, some were quite hard. Good day for edges. Alot of fun in itself, love lapping the hill fast. Bumps were hard and icy, speed control important or descent could be a bit rough. Last run was in a short blizzard of snow. Nice.

Still tons of snow on trail at Hunter.
