Date skier Oct 31 2007
Conditions firm man made on sides, Groomed loose packed powder to soft wet snow in the center. Looks like cats got a pass or two down the middle. Not many thin spots. Lots of fun.
temps no idea. below freezing when i got up. Warmer in to mid 50's when I left.
Word was given around a 10.30 am start. I hung out in the lot with (Yawmag37, Gamway73) and Ga2ski. Eastcaostpowderhound was around I have heard.
We all dropped off cans, (food bank drive) but have passes. Gamway bought a ticket to have the oct 31st ticket for historical value.
AK sightings on the hill. It was T2 cutting across to mid staion basically. down loading required to get to the base. Cover was better than I expected.
When we got going it was firm, but soon after is softend up nice. 1st pictch was a bit thin in one spot, but that was pretty much it.... rest was good. cover. As the snow softened up the sides became fun with some small bumps. A small park was set up as well.
Ga2ski with his attention gathering tigger costume was a hit with the media outlets. Very cool set up. Looks like he needs no warm up days to make nice turns. Gamway set a fast pace.
Made turns for about 2 hours and broke with Gamway to head home for trick or treat. Real impressed with the work of the snowmakers. Lots of talk about what could and could not happen. Fact was we got out cause they made a push. thankx so much many props.
Looks like Barker is getting love as well new shrubs and lots of work going on. Looks to be better I think. Ga2ski may post pictures later if Trick or treat went well.
Day 1 counted in Oct.
