i know we will have a report from greg and co. who braved the weather tonight so ill keep mine short

Ski sundown Dec 9th 2007

hard pack/ loose gran.

overcast, no wind

picture was taken right as i arrived, at 7 50 Am, you can just see the headlights of the groomer on the left side of the trailI
i thought the threat of the incoming storm would keep lines down, but I was surprised to see a few min wait ( tho not bad). Most trails were hard pack, and towards the end of the day 3:30 pm, things got pretty scraped, but plenty of good snow on the sides. They were blowing snow till about 9:45 on big bend on sunnyside and tomes treat, so hopefully they will open soon. Over all a good day on the snow , look forward to the night time crews report!

Cheers
Chris

Thanks for the report. While it wasn't exactly crowded last night there were more people than I thought would be there considering all the rain.. The surface was still pretty nice, only getting a little firm in a few spots the last few runs.
