June temps, at times it was flat out hot. Snow coverage was pretty good on Saturday, but very mashed potato-y by the end of the afternoon. Even on Sunday morning, you could tell there had been a ton of melting and saw big muddy bare spots that weren't there the day before. Giant slush puddles turned into pools at the Fourrunner Quad Sun. afternoon.
I can only speak to easier trails, which probably don't interest a lot of the folks here, but there is a lot to be said for spring skiing. The bumps were amazing fun and the snow was so soft, I felt obligated to push beyond my skills. Had two spectacular wipe outs that were simply hilarious and tons of fun. By about 2 on Sunday, decided it was time to visit the bar before a few last runs, which I don't normally do. This was an excellent idea.
Sadly, this is the last trip of the year. Planning now for a big family Christmas in deep snow and digging out the gas grill and patio furniture.
