Was thinking about conditions at the face while making the best of skiing gore. How was the skiing? Lookout below open?

Conditions got better as the day went on. Your Pop and I did LOB late in the day and it was fun. The bumps were nice in spots with only the occasional tree stump sticking out. Upper Cloud was nice. U Mac was firm but fun, the steep headwall was all scraped off thanks to the single plankers. L Mac was really nice with some of those breast like bumps that are soft and symetrical. We had fun and I got goggle face.

ripped around all day today. Started off with your pops till he got hungry and went in for some digs. Wilmington trail hd some of the best skiing of the weekend. Tall Jason had a friend up and the fellow went down the hill off of willmington. I was amazed he walked out of it. Sky softend up and it was just a race fun day. Mac was bumpy and the little skier cross at the bottom was a fun finish.
Got some cool shots from a differnet spot on th hill I will post at some point.

Pic Of LB. I got shot of WFWilly, but it somehow got lost in the upload. Dang, it was a nice shot too. This is the only one that survived.

Soooooooo sad you missed this weekend, but, as dear ol' young dad would say, "What price luv'"?*!
I know you, and the rest of the family, are Spring bumpers, but my runs of the day were when they opened up Thruway/Draper's after the hot racer girls vacated.
Who woulda' thunk the 3-4 pm stuff would be the hit of the day???

Was talking to a patroller on Sunday who said he didn't think the Slides would open this year. Too much exposed rock.

My brother and I hit Thruway/Drapers early on Monday. Until our new favorite trail opened (that would be Lookout Below), a couple of high speed cruises down Thruway/Drapers held run o' the day status. I figured the coverage would be great as it hadn't seen skier traffic during the races. It was groomed perfection on snow that was a heavenly compromise between mid-winter packed powder and spring corn. Nobody had been down it. Corduroy heaven made for high speed fun.
