The flashing yellow light has been turned off.    Yoyo and I did 3 laps in the "Threeway" area on lower angle slopes.   The 1st run was on about 2 inches of new over a rain crust.   Each climb back up involved breaking new track as heavy wind driven snow filled in tracks right away.    At the top of lap 2 we considered climbing a bit higher and onto steeper terrain, but quickly abandoned this we experienced fracturing as soon as we start setting track on a steeper slope.
