A cold day on the hill! But probably not as cold as Saturday. Things were pretty quiet at the Sunbowl lot when we rolled up; highspeed wasn't running due to winds.

Sunrise opened after we booted up. We took Sunriser down. It was dicey in spots; glare ice. Trail was firm for the most part. Did a lap off Solstice and Big Ben skied well. Made our way up top and skied Black Bear. Much better where they made snow. Did a few runs off Amex and those skied well. Key was to stay where they made snow.

Windy chilly day; actually felt like winter again!

I was there too, windy and cold but a nice day. Icy base all surfaces without new man made snow and scratchy in places where the wind blew it off. Polar bear was definitely run of the day, fresh whales and soft snow made for good fun.

Hoping today's' precip doesn't have too big of an effect on the conditions.
