Today was about as blue sky and beautiful as it gets(without fresh snow).
Warmed up on Downhill- fun and fast.
Iceberg was fun as well, and a little faster too.
Moved on to Sunnyside-mostly a mogul run at this point- but what is better than telemoguls on a spring day? Seriously-what? Firm but not too icey up high- corned nicely on the way down. High Campbell did not corn up as well.
Best runs of the day were in Powder Bowl-icey/styrofoam for one or two turns then just soft fluffy moguls all the way down.
If tomorrow is like today-go for it.

Yes, Saturday was a real springtime ski party. Regular weekend crowd. I was teaching my Grandson how to make quick turns on steeper slopes.
However, I wanted him to get a different perspective so I tried to sign him up for the "Mountain Cruise". Well, they only offered the afternoon half day. Ok, even though we were scheduled to leave the slopes an hour early, I wanted to get him going. Well, only two others showed up for the group lesson and my grandson was far ahead of them. I figured he might get something out of it, but I was kind of disappointed in the whole thing. So, I have the choice of teaching him my habits or going for private lessons. I think we'll do both.
Sunny, but cold. Stay on the groomers.
