18/19 'Yakyard Report

A revival day at the yak today for the Flowings & ACH
we skied pretty nice and ate fairly well saw funny stuff

Good weather & spring conditions in the yakyard this weekend. Face was soft by 10a and everything else followed shortly but the ungroomed terrain remained difficult until the afternoon where shaded aspects were surprisingly decent but the sun baked slop was heavy.

Two more weekends...

The face was pretty nice even late in the day, as was Sissy's->Chikamin. Even Alpine over at Central was quite OK all the way at the end of the day today.

The cov'rage out East is far superior to that of Silver Fir.
Head-on over, the crossovers are fine!
Second-to-last Sunday coming up...

Last Saturday of the lift-served season and it's clear most folks have focused elsewhere. Nonetheless there was soft corn from practically bell-to-bell and mostly just locals harvesting it. Clouds materialzed in the late afternoon to prevent a full-fledged mank session, but most aspects got sticky at some point (w/ the rare exception of the old Dino chairline which remained firm until.last chair).

Last call for lifts tomorrow, hope to see you there!

Sunday
I took the Dream Man's suggestion and went to Hyak instead of making the long slog to Crystal. I got there at nine and it was a bit firm here and there. After a trip over to Silver Fir and Triple 60 it softened up nicely. The treed runs on the front side of Hyak were about as good as it gets for spring snow bumps, with nobody skiing them. The bumps under the new chair were also mighty fine. It was a great day in the sunshine.
