Snow Characteristics Comments
No wind but not quite warm enough for sun damage. Upper 1/3 is wind damaged, but shaded skiers left still skiing nicely. The sun effected right is a little variable. Lower aprons had nice recrystalized powder - even in the sun.
Comments
Getting tracked up a bit. Maybe room for one more outing. Get it while it's still good/ OK
