Figured I get in some spring mush skiing before it all melts, thankfully cold temps are returning. Got up late, forgot about daylight saving. Arrived a litttle before ten which was a good thing as everything was just starting to melt. By 11 everything was in great shape. Racers Edge was in great shape with moguls starting to form. They never got too big or regular though but its still a great run. the Cliff had a good field going though so the run of the day was Cliff to Racers. minya Konka had some good bumps all the way down, a fast blast! lower K-27 was in great shape as well with the usual monster bumps but a flat runout. Eisenhower had a B course set up but roped up. mu AC 40 carbons aren't exactly bump skis so I didn't care. After hitting the front side until 12;30 it was time to hit the west side. clairs and Annapurna where both open but Anna was down to half its width. Clairs was in great shape all the way down and crowds started to stream down it, a lot of little kids as well, had to be careful around them.
The weather mentioned possible rain but the sun came out making it a perfect day. bare spots are starting to show, but the cold temps predicted should keep things good for a while.

'Purna looks nice. Some serious base on the front side.
