I just got back from 9 days in a row at the River. Wed was the busiest non weekend day with the leap year deal. Thursday and Friday were the best days of the year for me it just dumped on Thursday and continued to snow after the lifts closed so Friday was really nice early. Sat we did and early tracks and nailed it too. Snowed until nine, then a wet mix and then snowed from about 10:30 till 1. No wind or ncp issue really to the snow. We got wet though. Goggles got iced and when you came in and the frozen glaze melted you were sopped.
I think Monkey skied the best of the posted glades. Vortex was sweet as was black hole. The left side of the lower blind ambition glade was pretty nice. A few of us helped clear some of that. Thursday and Friday were un tracked runs most of the day in that area.
The only trail I had and issue with was lost princess/ tin woodsman on Thursday. About 8 inches on snow on hard pack and hard to deal once you broke through. Many just moved on. Trail of the week/ run was locke line crossbow and tight wire. Body beat up. Will recover and come back up thursday night.
Great pictures in this report.
