Resort or Ski Area: Pats Peak
Weather: Cloudy, some drizzle in PM
Conditions: Wet Granular, some Thin Cover
Trip Report: Had a good day at Pats Peak. Coverage was very good on the main parts of the trails, but the areas near the lodge were starting to get thin.
The warmer temps made for some decent conditions...enough to keep the ice away, but not warm enough to make it too sloppy.
Run of the day (for me at least) was Twister...plenty of soft snow and little ice to be found. Coverage on the FIS Race Trail was decent as well...I only went down once, though, because there was some practice racing going on and I didn't want to get in the way.
There was a snow search competition going on, but the crowds were quite low...the valley double was ski on all day and the peak double had at most a 2 minute wait. Cyclone, Duster, and East Wind looked good as well...Cyclone had nice amounts of soft snow on skier's right.
Pats is doing a good job of keeping the trails open, but it's apparent that the warmer temps and NCP have made it a challenge. Hopefully the weather will turn around soon...
