Great weather (65ish) and great soft snow. Little skeptical driving up due to lack of snow around. Once there, plenty of snow on upper mountain- bottom was getting real thin. To quote GSS everything not groomed- which was a lot-- was off the chain. Started with Nosedive to warm up- which had been groomed. Moved on to National plenty of bumps, than Starr for more bumps. (ROTD- save for the walkout due my failure to miss a turn and Stowe's failure to put up sticks. Snow simply ended completely). Had to hike up hill- to woods and than over to liftline. Liftline with more bumps was next, followed by the bumps on middle goat (upper and lower reseved- sampled upper later but not lower due to walk out experience on starr.

Did Midway and than centerline, both were heavily bumpted as well, and then pretty much repeated the list. Than my legs were done.

Pics below are the drive up and bumps on lower and middle liftline.

More Pics to come.

I appear to have exceeded my attachment quota? I have some centerline and goat pics but no way to put them up.

Yeah, I had a similar surprise last Wednesday. A fella on the lift said that if you stayed in the woods to the right, no such issue. Other than that, it was in great shape. I think National might have been the winner for that particular day, but it's like choosing your favorite child.
