Crystal - 02/06 was created by ddk
Another sunny windy cool day on the slopes, very light crowd, never any lift lines, very nice grooming on the main runs, fairly nice packed snow on the typical shady slopes (except for West Face – already kinda was aware it was not going to be good and it was not), not much skiable on the sunny slopes, wind loading/smoothing in GV and PB bowls got better as the day progressed – skier right on both, some softening on IceFerkBerg skier left and sugar in the middle, fpimd there was no softening in BP’s today, but some soft snow in Lucky Trees, upgraded the spouse’s pass to allow bucket rides for her – well worth it since we got a number of rides. First real after work life day for CD – but his recent trend of big east windy days could end. But is was still a fun day as usual.

A repeat of last friday as the cold east wind stifled the sunny day. Excellent grooming provided some high speed fun. With few people on the hill, it lasted all day without scraping off. North facing aspects (Northway Chute, Northway Bumps, Horseshoe Chutes, Snorting Elk, G Valley Bowl) provided the off-piste. Iceberg, Luckyshot, Deer Fly added high speed cruising. A lot of snow/ice crystals being transported up the east slopes by the wind and over the ridges. A fun day, but I'm groomered out. Heat or new snow, please.
