I think I saw some copy/pasting from the snow report

I am SHOCKED

Better get in those trees before the thaw.

No trees are already tracked out and sun baked. best to stay out or risk injury.

It was nice to ski yesterday with no crowds, sun and not freezing my ass off! Headed out now to rip a few good ones.

Slidey B had lots of snowmobiles around it this morning...spun for a bit then stopped. We'll see at 10 am.....and it's loading!!! Fingers crossed.

Sarcasm trying to keep them to yourself? LOL. Plenty of still untracked spots at Ellen in the trees this morning. In general Ellen was fantastic this morning.

It looked like it was moving slower (half speed?) than normal when I skied lower FIS earlier

Oh come on!

Upper FIS and the woods are ROTD

So back to the subject of the worthless daily reports, if they did do it "right", they'd mix things up and announce surprise grooms. Personally, I love hitting trails like FIS and others that rarely see a groom, especially in soft snow like this with bumps getting huge. They bump up soon enough, but the experience of skiing a groomed Middle Earth or Lower FIS is pretty cool and something I have only done a few times.

All that being said, everything is awesome right now. Will be out again tomorrow; hopefully crowds a little smaller...

Skied all day. No lift issues at all, conditions were grand and the crowds were very light. Except for Castlerock, we basically waited for maybe 5 to 10 groups and got on the lift. Perfect temps all day. So glad not to be frozen.

Skied in places that I haven't in a couple of years and skied untracked most of the day. Lots of hootin and woopin. ;-)
