Crystal - 02/15 was created by ddk
Very nice day, fair light early crowd, lots of sun/blue skies/views to everywhere, big blank smooth slate of Powder Bowl called early – got first run just in front on the ski patrol checking conditions – it was great! Smooth fast natural grooming, ouch! Repeat! Ouch! Spent a lot of the rest of the day being somewhat nice and chilling. Late morning a lot of BearPit runs (sweet), Valley Bowl (finally great vis and lots of fun either skier right small bumps and center line nice big bumps). A couple of runs during the day down Kelly’s Gap to Lower E – could have done it more. Short mid day break at CB lodge and then more PB/BP’s and lots of front side from REX chair line to Memorial (all nice deep easy carving left over soft sun heated muck – fun at high speed - did I ever mention that I really like my K2 AfterShocks?). Some almost crowds in places late morning (30 second – almost a life time of waiting). Perfect combo of Spring and Winter on the slopes today.
Other – Soup was Minestrone again (plus stew and chilies). Split a gluten free Hamburger with Spouse #1 – very good (plus the brownie point credits). Pay lot almost filled up – Good job. Actually lots of cars in B and C lots, not as many buses as Crystal seemed to be expecting today – but lots of empty space there. Yee Haa.

Fun in the sun today. Northfacers to start, and Powder Bowl was like it'd been groomed. Throne Chutes into Hamburger also great. Greg's Gulch was nice, but most of the Frontside and other sunny aspects haven't had enough skier grooming, and got pretty sloppy – aka, it will really suck when it refreezes tomorrow. Northway is still holding awesome snow that should weather the heat of today quite nicely. I'm ready for the March/April dumpage to start. A nasty accident on SOB/Windy Pass had all access to Luckyshot and Bear Pits closed late morning waiting for heli evac. Never heard details.
