Weather: freezing rain sleet
Cond. About four inches of snow, light ice glaze ontop

I got to sundown a little before 930 only about four cars in the lot. I opted for my alpine skis with the 109cm underfoot instead of my usual tele with 72 underfoot. Lift two was spinning and a few maybe tree people were skiing. I headed right to nor easter hoping the bumps would be sweet. They were!!!! You could just straight-line them all the way down. There is one big funky VW bump in the middle that was great to launch off . lower exhibition bumps were funky. About ten the snow changed over freezing rain and things started to crust over skiing was still good on all the trails but the crust was building fast sundown closed at noon and I was iced up pretty well a good morning tho

I was one of those cars!!!!!! I stuck it out untill they closed around noon and I'm glad I did, the freshies on Temptor, Gunny, Exhibition, and Norester were epic and lasted a while since there seemed to only be 5-7 people on the mountain at any one time! Great day all in all for what it was worth! So glad I live a mile away or I could have missed this!
