Agreed on Sunday. I arrived at 10:15 after starting out with fresh on Silver Fir.
While there was much complaining about chair 2 line it was actually quite decent(10-15) for a Sunday with so much new. Visibility came and went as the morning progressed. Sub 100 ft until noon, better on Nash side than the bowl. Afternoon it opened up quite to 1000 ft with slightly decreased snow. Snow seemed in better shape on nash side. 4-5" of very light snow on top of prior day's 4-5" of ridden and slightly heavier snow. I didn't go through gates due to partner. Snow fell most the day. When I cleared my truck off at Central parking lot after 72 hours there was a good 10" on the hood and roof and nearly 12" in the bed.

If I were to guess on the stability I'd say it was pretty decent as the temperature dropped gradually from Friday afternoon until Sunday and snow was falling almost non-stop so good bonding seemed to have occured. For today & Tuesday before the storm I'd probably look for where the traffic wasn't and still have some very good stuff.
