8-10” of heavy dense snow

10 degrees at the summit, 17 at the base most of the morning
Freezing drizzle til' a little after ten when things started to clear
Since I ended up in a situation where I had to drive Sunday, I audibled to WaWa. Short ride and free lift ticket from the Warren Miller movie proved to be a Great decision! They left just enough un-groomed to kick my ass skiing from opening chair (ten minute slight delayed opening of 8:10) to 12:30. Freezing drizzle til’ about 10:00 which led to no lift lines and a constant “scraping-off” of the goggles. From 10:30 to noon maybe 30 seconds to a minute wait in line. I think the whole mountain was open. Stayed totally on the Summit lift. Did many many laps....................

Reefer, I think I rode the lift with you yesterday - I rode up with someone who said they were there on Warren Miller voucher, and you frequently head to Magic - sound familiar?

Yesterday was awesome out there - snow was a little heavy, but nothing like the cement I shoveled at home.

Nice. I was there with my daughter & nephew most of the day. That was some of the best snow I've ever skied there, I think. I was pleasantly surprised at how uncrowded the hill was, too.

Wow... must have been a mass infestation of people for the afternoon session then because it looked packed when I checked the cam at 1:30 and was packed all night. Glad you got the goods! Hope tomorrow is just as good.
