Conditions: ICE, bulletproof, spring sonditions

Trip Report: decided to go to the river after hearing reports that the loaf got mostly rain. got there at 8 and it was sunny and 37 degrees i was hoping for soft moguls and corn WRONG! they had groomed the slush and it froze solid (so that the "cordoroy" was still there at 9am!) most of the steep/bump runs were closed and i didnt even make it over past spruce. by about 10 everything below mid mountain had softened up quite nicely, risky/ amex and escapade were great as was cascades and monday morning. the woods were suprisingly soft and pretty nice, a bit thin down low but still good! Quit around 1:30, it clouded up and was getting colder/windy. overall a good day once it softened up.

awesome BBQ for lunch at Bob's next to the good food store!
