Silver Fir Delivers --I got to the parking lot just before noon and promptly toured east to the Hyak cross country trail around and back through Hidden Valley. Back to the Silver Fir chair and began some laps just as the crowd thinned out and the snow cover cooled down to a coarse granular top coat with intermittent graupel showers to top it off. The bumps on the top pitch were low enough to slice through anywhere - oh yeah, and it was not sunny but absolutely clear - great light.
It was soul and funk day (thank you Matt) so food and clothing breaks were backed by Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Sly, and the Brothers Johnson.
To summarize: Curtis Mayfield, Graupel, hi viz -- @ 5 hours of ski magic.
