Ski Report - Arrived early to get to ski the groomer ice and some of the groomers were icy (especially MIFB which had iffy grooming and was very IB), but other groomers were nice cold packed powish (north facing areas in the Valley).  Chex started loading unexpectedly early and the rush was over in a minute or so.  Sun was out big, sky was ultra blue, views were from Hood to the Olympics to Baker to Stuart.  Hoped for one more day before the east winds took affect - not so lucky on that.  Dressed to downsize, but never took any warm gear off all day, was warm  in some protected areas and did get very happy soft down low (lower Ferk), but the cold winter snow is still out there - GV Bowl (right side), PB (right side and it was very nice worth repeats).  Crowd light,  no lift lines  noticed.  No  lunch break today and skied deep  into the afternoon - well almost 2pm.  #1 had a great day skiing with Ms Ferk and Trista,  I  was solo racing  all  day.  We had a fun day for the last Monday of the lift served season at Crystal. 

Other - Pay lot was less than halfish full, B just beyond the shuttle stop, C was typically somewhat fullish looking.  Drive up and down at speed, only noticed  two Elk butts on the way up this morning ( but where there is one, there is probably more).
