Didnt explore too much...found some FN Awesome Bumps on Ike (Mogul course) and even better ones on Crossover!! So thats where I stayed. The ones on Ike were perfect zipperlines. I was nailing em at Mach 10. The ones on Upper Crossover were a lot bigger, soft and forgiving.



Left Line was all $$$$$

Snow was melting fast!! Rode up with an Ops guy and he said the plan was to close thurs and fri (to preserve) and move some snow around once it gets colder fri night.

Awesome day!! Top ten day for me this year! Just wish some of the crew was around!!

Looks like enough os left for them to reopen. Cliff was also awesome last weekkend and it has tons of snow.
What you do is Cliff to the first stop. Walk over to Crossover, walk over to Mid and ski Ike. Bumps top to bottom.

ESKI, how was Clairs holding up?
originally closed from the top, access was a hike in from the 2nd work road off of Wayout then they allowed access from the top because everyone was poaching anyway, but walking was required after the doughnut ... a shovel was on hand for the second headwall and the access to lift was single track and plywood ... if snow can't be farmed, it's done

Cliff was awesome...and Crossover has a ton of snow too.

So does the headwall on Lower K.

Today was only a little cooler...87 here.

Hope they can do it.
