an amazing 3 days. sunshine & warm all 3 days.

skied bell to bell all 3 days. generally our modus was to start on east fall which softens first. it was cream thurs & fri. took a little a longer on saturday. thursday first thing we were able to find some pow on some of the upper mtn trails like downdraft & escapade. actually scored trax on ridge run. the supe area was generally mediocre with supe never developing anything more than slush piles on top of an ice base. upper skye hawk was generally excellent with monster bumps late in the day. middle ovation (and the headwall) also skied well.

for us, the consistently best skiing was in the snowden trees and conclusion. conclusion had perfect bump lines and it was "hammer" time on friday. escapade also had great bumps.

rotd was the upper needles/upper stitch/vertigo combo. vertigo had the sweetest, creamiest bumps of the season.

Sweet! I was up there Friday and it was awesome all day long. East Fall was buttery on the first run...lapped it 4 or 5 times. I think I like East Fall all corned up more than East Fall with fresh pow. Spring Skiing Rocks!
