90% of the mountain is frozen junk. North facers still held some excellent soft bumps. Started with a big sun break, it was snowing in the parking lot upon arrival, and got things off to an excellent start. Visibility was very nice and raised my energy level. Did big loops that combined all the upper mountain north facing aspects, and then repeated. Only reason to ski Iceberg, was to transition from Green Valley to FG for Powder Bowl. One IB run was OK, but quickly degraded to skidded and icy. One foray into Bear Pits and Outer Ferk’s was OK, the second time, not so much. There was no crowd or lines, so our north facers lasted till afternoon. They’re pretty skied out now, sorry. A mid day graupel dump added an half inch of new that provided a phycological refresh and we bounced around some more. Visibility deteriorated and staying in the trees wore out the lines faster. Ended with a very good day not leaving much for tomorrow. Looks like heat will be our friend coming up.
I agree with ddk’s report, he is That Weird Guy. I remember when we had to drag him kicking and screaming up Chair Six because there was Deep Snow.
