Good good morning, Man made on Clair's and Racer's Edge, Crowded for a week day. I think Google had a company trip. Many buses . By 1pm the West side was ICY and there were falling bodies everywhere. Rest of mountain iced up soon after. They better start blowing snow in earnest or the weekend will be tough.

To be fair, I think every where south of Albany will be icy. Try Sunday after lunch; should be spring like every where.... :beer:

Hmm. Thinking about going up next Sunday or Monday but I'll wait to hear reports on conditions before I brave potentital crowds on the Holiday weekend. Any regulars have the scoop on crowds being larger on Sunday or Monday? I've gone to Hunter 3x this year on Sunday and been able to miss major crowds and lift lines, but being many have off Monday??????

Hunter hasn't been too crowded on a Sunday? That's counter-intuitive but good to know. I guess hangovers and hookups cut down on the crowds.

Well I don't know bout Hunter's crowd, do know that in Park City Sundays are far less crowded because the Mormon's are in Church till around noon.

Great skiing today. Incredible groomed terrain on West Side. I went perhaps the fastest ever on a flat Annapurna from the top. King Slug look for me in the morning.
