Padded Seat Update 16/17

^^^^^ I left just as they were. Car read 36 and telemetry confirms. But the firm groomers were actually decent all the way down to the top of C3 and then I found one good groomer track down Sessel that I kept hitting. LOL. Seriously, one. I don't mind skiing firm groomers, I pretend that I am at Aspen in the World Cup. Damn that's ice.

In New England, "ice" is either  blue (really blue, and not grainy), or clear or black. Not white. That's called "frozen granular" in their snow reports. I used to keep my edges well tuned back when I lived there. It was  easy to tell the difference underfoot. Paid good money many times to ski frozen granular, often in near 0F and windy conditions. Our "conditions check" was to open the car door in the ski area parking lot and listen for the sound of the turns being made.

Just peeked at the  Summit webcams - looks like the  gas firepit by the Silver Fir lodge is by far the most popular terrain  feature at the  moment.

Big Schmoooey mess of snow that skied ok today.
wetage early going to pukage before mixed to nada.
the spackling of new did not stick to that deep old blue.

Firm & Loud as told by The Mrs Flowing this morning.

Softening up real nice.

The bc skied really nice today. Once the sun hit other areas everything solidified fast. Shot 4 was not as pleasant as it could have been. But I knew better than to head over there.
