Link, myself, and a buddy Tyler from down south thought we’d do a little camping action and tackle the fresh on Mazama before the crowds rushed in Saturday.   Not as much snow as predicted, and the blower that did fall had a lovely 1-2cm hoar frost on it from Friday night’s single digit temp drop.  We definitely got the goods and had fresh, untracked, blower.  The “ants” were visible as we went to drop our second line, but slopes still to ourselves.  Four laps and out of the Paradise madness by 1:30p.
