Woke up to rain. Woke up to about an inch of sh*t on the ground at exit 11.
Left here about 6 40, get to the mtn at 8:00. First cabin up. Topridge, was great all day with some great untoched powder for the first few runs. Pine Knot held up best all day, the top was great, if there were any slick spots there was enough wind to fill them in.
The snow was a little slow, not wet, just a bit slow so ruby run->sunway was a pain just as it always was, one of the times I went i cut that hairpin corner and ended up in a ditch with a nice dose of rocks :? Good coverage down there, no surprise.
They opened up showcase->lower sleigh->3b->stokes ect... at about 11:00?
Showcase had some nice whales, but it was so wet and sticky you had to focus on not flipping onto your face. Lower Sleigh. was great but once you got down under the gondi line it was real hard the rest of the way down. Needless to say after one run down that I stayed as far away as possible from the run.
Great day out there, not too cold, snowed all day but nothing to hinder visibility. Topridge chair had some difficulties for a while because snow was hitting a sensor the the bull wheel so we experienced frequent stops for about 25 minutes. Two deer decided to set up camp about 2:00 minutes up on the right, it's always great to see wildlife.
It's looking like a great season
