Got out of work at 5, and headed right up the slopes with my skins on.
Went up 360/Willies Gulch/Rip tide in about Hour and 20 mins. As I was nearing the top of my climb all of the lights on the trails they were making snow on started to come on so the snow makers could see better. If I wasn't supposed to be there, there was no hiding now.
Skied down Lower Glade to 360. It felt great to be on snow and skiing, but un-groomed man made snow is hard to ski. Very sticky and very heavy. Was difficult coming down but had a lot of fun.
The coverage was pretty deep overall, but in a few spots were no guns were aimed it was thin. Gave my skis some nice marks, but nothing I cant fix.

Overall I was happy I did it, but my legs are tired.
