These pics in this report are from the last three days of skiing. I ditched the camera today. Today was brilliant sunshine and temps in the high 50's . It was 40 degrees at the summit at 9:23.

My first run was on the 9:15 tram. When the door opened at the top I was out and headed downhill from the hoard in 10 seconds. I skied nice PP on Vermonter all the through Angles Wiggle. It was after that where it got mushy.

It did freeze last night from maybey the top 2/3 of the mountain so things were sweet where the sun hit but the shady areas were firm and fast. That was early. Things did soften pretty fast and the bottom was mushy dirty snow.

Bones are poking through in lots of places. Tomorrows prelim down River Quai shoud be interesting.

I skied the morning and decided to head back home. Skiing was still good up top but started to get slushy about noon from mid-mountain down.

Get out there boys and girls cuz the fat lady is clearing her throat for last call. One warm rain and it would close most trails. New snow that falls is falling on warm ground with green vegitation sprouting to life. Especially from mid-mountain down. The skiing is excellent right now so wait a couple more weeks for the Harley, stop waxing the boat, those leaves in your yard can wait another day, and go ski!

Great trip. My kid is beat! We both have sunburns and smiles!
