It was very rocky in the AM yesterday, nearly impossible to get down without hitting something hard. By the PM either you hit rock or got lucky and missed 'em!

It's really deep still on Superstar. Skyelark and lower Bittersweet also have a good chance at making it another weekend. Its the "access" trails that are taking a beating. Still lots of snow on top of the headwall. Running out of snow to "farm" at the bottom.
I think with somewhat average weather they will make Memorial Day weekend but with lots of hiking up top. Unlike years past the bottom looks to be the most solid right now with the flat middle section in the "worst" shape.

I'd be pretty happy with that last shot if I were you!

Thinking there maybe some walking involved next weekend at the bottom

The only way it could be ski-to the lift is if they sacrifice some snow at the base of Supe. No reserves left to farm down there. This year I don't believe they made that massive pile at the base with the fan gun that runs constantly whenever snow making is on.
Overall there is less snow than last year on SS. Where they did do a great job is where the lower S typically forms. That is covered nicely this year. The pile on top if the headwall was smaller, and at the base. What was great this year was how much was blown on ovation. Skiing ovation in may is an added bonus even if that snow came from the SS glacier.

I don't think they made the pile last year either. I remember walking on and off the lift by this time last year too, I think.

It looks like it may only be SS this weekend as well:

The more people on SS, the more moguls they makes. Thats how I look at it.

Unless the forecast changes drastically it doesn't look like I'll be making birthday turns on Saturday [emoji53]

Lower Skyelark was already thin this past weekend. Doubted that would last, but High Road over to Lower Bittersweet was quite full and pretty deep. Upper Skyelark was good, just the track to it was thin. But they had enough snow at the top of SS and Gateway to manage both SS headwall and track to Skyelark IMHO.
