Snow report - Great day all in all, light crowd, sunshine, 3 to 5 new of smokey nice snow which made my Hamster runs very happy.  Limited area of reporting as usual - GV Bowl! prime center line bumps! Ouch! MIFB just skiable nice with the new, LS upper bumps very happy - especially untracked early, groomers okay early (LS and MIFB)...more beat me up challenging runs were SunnySide and M-World (hadn't skied Memorial much yet this season). Heard good things about PB from the Fireman (how many laps today? at least 4 while I  was on the mountain).   The new cold smoke snow improved a lot of places and should make tomorrow great on the groomers and happy enough of piste.  Lots of sun, cold, no real lift line ever on REX, looked like a line of FQex - but not new normal bad.  Great day, beat my quads up in the bumps, most vert in a low vert season for me.  Quit to save some muscle for #1 tomorrow.

Other - Pay lot nowhere near part full, B and C pushing the edges with cars in D....twas a very light crowd for this season.   Drive up  was painful  due to a couple  of  folks  that should  let someone else drive.  Drive  down early enough to be pleasant - except for the dump truck that yanked out in front of me and thru up a nice rock....plus  the mud  feast from the pit down  just before Enumclaw - what a  mess!

Great day!   If I had more leg it could have been a record vert day (for a lazy old man).  Didn't expect it to be as good as it was!

Cold bluebird day until 1pm when the clouds started rolling in.  No wind and surprisingly nice snow, except the frontside.  Other than that, south to north all good.  A great day.  Just to cap things off, turned into an empty H lot, turned off the traction control, and spun some donuts on the way out.  If you're going tomorrow, dress warm.
