Start of the Tour! - July 2, 2011 Crystal

The best snow was in Snorting Elk Bowl and the best lines were off Grubstake Peak.
Lift lines were long but it was a beautiful day and everyone seemed to be having a great time so no complaints.
Lots of foot traffic including a tour bus which made for long lines on the gondola at times.
It should be another great day on Monday.

We had a great day on Saturday the 2nd as well but I fear it's coming to an end. I just watched the King5 video from the 4th and the top of Green Valley has lost a lot of snow in just 2 days. If you go next weekend (that's you ddk), I would leave your best skis at home. JD and I had some good runs on Grubstake peak, Snorting Elk bowl, Rinky Dink, West Face (from the top, is that still called West Face?) and the usual assortment of Grubstake, tree run, and well, you know what's there. No purple shorts or Russians I'm sorry to say (if you know what I mean, you know what I mean). There was a lot of foot traffic today so I hope this has been a good business decision for Crystal Mt. and they continue the spring skiing policy in the future. Now were going hiking but are looking forward to November!
