Crystal - 06/02 was created by ddk
Day started fairly nice, light crowd (only the first three buckets were somewhat full), overcast, cool, fog in places – but mostly good vis in the Valley and different areas on REX at different times, snow very soft and untracked and dirty. Had a number of fun runs – Grubstake worth repeats, Sunnyside and the middle Doors. Goodness lasted till around 10:30 when a light shower started – lasted almost an hour, spent part of that time under a tree watching snowboarders straight line the bare spots of dirt at the bottom of REX. Things improved mid day for another short period, which allowed for some great runs in Bearpits and the Doors again. Only lasted till around 1pm when the fog rolled in again and the precip looked to be starting up…so I called it a short day to do family chores. No soup report, A lot was not even close to full, no lift lines, brown spots are getting bigger on the slopes – which makes it interesting, some ski lines are done for this season, but there are still a lot of fun ones. Snow was pretty sticky slow today – might have to pick a different wax tonight for tomorrow.

A day for the fanatics...weather as you say was lousy at times but the skiing was great.
Big crew from Alpental getting their freak on...Bearpits was the hamster run.
Alpental crew skied all day till closing bell....wet at times but just kept going.... I like them Alpental skiers....hardcore!

We had a nice run into the Cache followed a rather humid skin out and my wife skied Bearpits for the first time( Twice!) and that's a huge leap forward for her and I'm very proud of her.....Thanks "H" for the girl power motivation.

that was one of those "must be present to win" sort of days.
Yes it did rain a couple of times, but then it stopped and the snow was skiing really well.
Huge props to -p- on here laps into BP's.
