Rime and Reason/Upper East Fall were groomed out and pretty firm considering the low temperatures and low humidity over the last few days. Rime had some snowmaking golf balls. Upper Double Dipper had big whales on it and the surface to skier's right of the whales was fine.
Downdraft Headwall opened at 10:30. I skied it a couple of times. It was pretty slick. You could hold on it.... barely... but not exactly the chalky talcum powder surface I was hoping for. I don't have a sense for whether skier traffic will break up the glaze layer. I presume they'll put a winch cat on it at some point.
Mouse Trap was by far the best surface. It was getting minimal traffic so it stayed soft the whole time I was doing laps off the K1.
Lower Bunny Buster is also groomed out and pretty firm with guns going on it. The mix was pretty wet.
They're blowing Highline, Skyelark-to-Highroad-to-Bittersweet, Mouse Run under the Snowdon Triple, and the training slope next to it. I imagine East Fall is next.
Beware:
Obey the sign that tells you to remove your skis before entering the maze for the K1. They put down white granite chunks in the maze this fall and they're invisible when mixed into the snow.
