Sunday, 12/3/17 report

Since nobody else has made a report, here goes mine. Started again at the Superstar pod. I thought the snow on Skylark was much better than the snow on Superstar. The best snow on Superstar was on middle Superstar. Enjoyed skiing Skyhawk and again managed to miss the rocks - snow was not as soft as the day before but still fun. I passed on skiing the Ovation headwall because I thought the snow looked solid but regret not doing so after hearing the report from the Snow Princess who told me that she had skied it multiple times with the group of kids she was coaching and that the snow was actually soft.

In the Canyon area, East Fall was a do over as well as North Ridge and the section of Upper Double Dipper that is under the Canyon Quad. North Ridge snow was a bit more dirty but was still enjoyable. Can't wait to ski it after some more natural snow falls on it. The other trails Rime, Reason and Upper East Fall all skied nicely at the time I was there. I did ski the Cascade headwall again on my way to the Canyon area and although there are rocks showing, you can avoid them.

Snowdon trails were skiing very well probably because of lack of traffic. Highline was very nice so we skied it twice. We skied some of the other trails there a few times too. We took the poma whenever we saw a short line.

I skied as many runs today before lunch as I usually ski in a full ski day during the regular season. Called it a day right after lunch as my legs were a bit tired.

Afternoon Report: Pretty much as Ty reported except I liked Superstar better than Skyelark.

The upper headwall and middle section skied about the same as the past few days. But I found the bottom to be better as there was some semblance of moguls forming that were much softer and better to turn on than the main 'surface'.

Pro Tip: After skiing the headwall, cut right onto lower Skyelark and then back left onto Superstar [or stay on Skyelark if that's your preference]. That little area has some of the best snow on the mountain and decent cover to boot.

East Fall and Highline also skiing a bit better than the day before.

I think that's called the upper reverse Mr G wrap-around.

Superstar was blue chunky monkey.
Daughter classified it as marble-ous.
We found good snow a couple runs
They're sure leveraging the temporary compressors
Some natural tate would help.

I think you are referring to lower Skyhawk and I agree that area has some of the best snow on the mountain.

9” to date . K doing alright. But damn we need some pow! Sad when West Glade and Sky Hawk are considered pow runs.

I thought Skyehawk was a 'blow over' run.

Thanx for clearing that up. I figued its called lower SkyeHawk but after skiing SkyeHawk I have a hard time calling it a separate trail.

Don't know what it's officially called. I call it lower Skyhawk because I usually ski it after skiing Skyhawk although you can also ski it after skiing the Superstar headwall.

How are your pizza wedge turns progressing?

FYI: The blue snow is not blue snow. If you watch races they mark the line around the gates with a blue dye. It is mixed with blue windshield anti freeze so it does not turn to ice in the sprayer.
