they didn't do a big groom last night? I wonder if they had a mechanical issue. seems like a thaw / freeze event would warrant a regroom of the groomed terrain.

or maybe there wasn't anything they could do so they left it as is

Sun is coming out in full force so I’d expect the conditions to turn spring-y around 1 which should resolve the groom issue. Ungroomed transitioning from crusty to deep and wet, with a bit of stickiness to it

I hope they are going to have the two operators going back to back with an all nighter on the one machine. With what I saw on Friday, it could really be tricky tomorrow.

Was there today with my son and some friends. Pretty tough conditions early, but the groomers became nice cream cheese around noon. Anything in the shade never softened much by the time we were done at 3.

First time there for my 7 year old. He loved it and handled the early frozen cord and coral reef bumps well. Wanted to do his first double diamond, so I took him down Twilight Zone. He did remarkably well given the challenging snow.

Stunner of a day, but needed to be 10 degrees warmer to soften the terrain in the shade.
