2/5/20 What's heavy, wet, and sticks to your skis but not to the base?
With the oh noes about a late opening and heavy snow, we were fashionably late at around 9:45. Parked ~10 cars in from the lot 3 ramp, and walked up to a just spinning sky. Work continues on fixing 7th, an excavator and two cats were onsite. Sky is unloading to the right only, with everything above headwall closed.
Vis was fine, though sky was flat as normal. Light snow that didn't quit turn clear falling all day, but melted as soon as it hit anything. Snow was on the thick side of fun, about 6" on the hard layer. Deep enough that balanced turns kept you off it. Nothing too reactive or slabby, but a heavy turn on a 35d+ slow would kick off some heavy slough. Another XXX day.
Looks like the early crowd hammered Kehr's then up DD and SC, got tired and quit. People complaining of a slow opening and high avy risk.... Strong critical thinking skills there. So everything else that opened stayed nice through the day, with below ~4.5k getting a bit sticky.
2.5/3
