Clear

Clear skis all around but damn cold. It must have been minus 0 degrees all day. If the temperature was to get to 27 degrees we would have been relying on an act of God. I was exiting the Powder Park area where I usually find good shaded slopes with 25 degrees and enough to get 25 or 30 powder turns in for 7 or 8 runs for the day. I exited out of Rosco's and started down an immediately hit a layer of ice, in fact I got pitched on my butt two or three times before I could get back on to the Canyons Resort. Very strange on north facing slopes. I don't know if this condition will expand to other slopes or not. It was late in the afternoon so I did not take the time to dig any pits. I don't know that I have encountered this condition with very cold weather and powder several days before especially since the temperature has been below zero. Maybe an enigma.
