Crystal - 02/23

Very nice day, not as deep as yesterday, a lot more folks tracking it up early, not as much new snow during the day, but all in all a very very big fun day. Good vis most of the day, some sun, some snow fall, lots of nice pow, cut pow, and packed pow. Lookin forward to more of it all again tomorrow. ddk

Nice Dan, good to see you and all my buddies are getting the goods.
Just buy me a hot chocolate next time you see me. I'm the sacrificial lamb this week whose taking one for the team. Just can't bust out of work this week. :'(
Everybody has their turn for no turns.

Two of my runs were dedicated to you today Joe in recognition of how much we missed you.
Thanks for taking one for the team.
Could be some great BC action by the weekend.

Awesome Karma going on here. I'm certain it's gonna pay off for Joe over the next week.

Ditto DDK's report on the day. Not as deep as yesterday, but certainly more user friendly wherever you went. And getting to lap Southback multiple times definitely added to the Nirvana.

See you all tomorrow 

Although we endured the "you shoulda been here yesterday" talk on the chair, today was excellent as well.  We were still finding knee deep untracked at 2:00.  That was done poking some lines I haven't done in a long time.  Well worth it.  My vote, a Wow day.  Found the Frontside deeper and lighter than Campbell Basin.  Southback opened late when were were back on Rex, probably very nice.  More:

They got the new Gondola buckets mounted and tested, hauling weights all morning, and opened 1.5 hrs later than forecast.  We got bucket 17, the last of the old ones.  They do come faster, a welcome addition.

Dumping snow when we left and on the road home.  Weirdly snowing hard and accumulating on the road in Maple Valley, dry and sunny in Renton.  Just heard 410 was closed at Mud Mt Dam due to accidents.  Was some nasty icy snow there this morning on the way up.

I'll dedicate all my runs to Joe, they were great.
