Yea, Thursday was a weather day. Quite variable depending on altitude. As we drove up the boulevard, we got above the morning cloud deck and got a spot of blue sky. Wet snow on the goggles, fog and fresh white snow made visibliity a total zero late afternoon. I lifted my goggles and took some eye stinging just so I could make it down iceberg. The group that I was skiing with looked like a train wreck. Flailing all over the place.
But...... between 10:20 and 12:30 am, the spotty cloud cover was about half way down powderbowl.... and we were basically skiing in sunshine. We did a real nice run down Northway in sunshine.... nice! At the top of the North chair, I looked around and could see we were in a big sun hole, and knew it wouldn't last. Skiing two hours of sunshine was sweet. Boy, did it turn nasty after lunch!
Snow is actually pretty good, I think the wind is taking to moisture out of the wet fallen snow. So, the "pow" is on the heavy side. Sweet run approaching Deer Fly, which was a smooth ride. Feeling just a little stick at the bottom of Deer Fly. Groomers are good. Back up on Saturday with the grandson.
