The Silver Fir lift started to load at 9:15am. The Ski Patrollers were coming down the lift line and had to push to keep up their speed to the lift. Upper Outback trail was nice for the first wave. The next runs were nice in the clean lines. One of our ski buddies (the driver) took an unhappy fall, so it was time to go to brunch and apply a snow pack to “the sore spot.” The snow was nice but the temp was rising slowly. There was about 5” of new from early morning. It was a great start to the Christmas season.
