Crystal - First Tuesday 11/27 was created by ddk
Very nice day all in all – didn’t know what to expect since it looks like we’re in a random day to day something….warmer from the start, still winds on top but not as strong as yesterday, greyer early overcast than I expected (other than when I was watching the weather on the tube this morning). But like many other days after the initial cloud front moved through, the sun light filtered through and actually went full on big! (CD put on the Hawaii shirt for the first time this spring season, I down sized what I could). Nice grooming early today on Lucky and skier right side in the small bumps I had a lot of fun every time I did anything on Lucky. Valley Bowl was again the most consitent smooth nice slope, Grubstake was a very happy zone with good carveable snow. IceFerkBerg got really nice and soft – did it mid day and again towards the end. M-World to skier left of REX were primo during a lot of the day and Memorial Forest was slush cup city my last time through around 1:30…Many SunnySide runs for JD….Great day with the core Amigos. Had my biggest blow up yard sale in the middle of Showtime today – cant say I was to happy at that moment, cant remember the last time anything like that happened to me, but the rest of the day made up for it. More rocks in places, but they seemed easier to miss. Soup of the day was Salmon Cheddar Broccoli….or maybe it was Salmon Broccoli Cheddar – looked good, but no time to try it out (maybe tomorrow). No HC today – hopped it would happen, but somebody pulled the plug to early (or maybe the lift was having problems). No body was on the mountain – less than even yesterday…Pay lot pretty average, the rest of A lot never filled up. Fun, Fun, Fun….

An excellent day. Although the early cloud cover had me worried as the frozen glop and Iceberg were most unpleasant. The sun came out at 10:00 an it was Game On on the Frontside and Grubstake. The snow is about used up as brush, rocks, and stumps sprouted everywhere. Although easy to miss today, a dusting of snow will not be nice. A foot or more is needed to cover the junk and what will be nasty ice with temps lower than today's mid 30s and full sun. Not likely that today's goodness will carry over tomorrow. Even the groomers are in tough shape as there is a lot of gravel and rocks being dug up. Sorry but we used it up today. Once again, ddk provided the visual of the day with a 200 foot yard sale in a scary double release on Showtime as skis and poles slid down the mountain.

Spring skiing in November? WTF but great fun
