1/12/18 Friday report

Post by Finn »

Fabulous Friday skiing wish it was snow, but you make the what the weather gods give you.
Windy at the peak as you loop around great northern on the corner. Thin cover on the left middle side just below the FIS trail. It is marked. Snow is slippery with water over ice in some sections.
Some natural rocks and pine trees showing in various spots on GN. Not many brave souls.
Took 2 laps of the poma. Three in the box. Two runs on the chute. Maybe 5 and keeping score
44 f.
Have a great day! 8)

Late Afternoon Report: Only out for a little while [did get the 3-run legal day in] during the afternoon precipitation lull. So, at least I was able to stay dry. Some fog at the peak with overcast skies.

ROTD: Downdraft. Mostly very good but even on the man made snow there were places where it was easy to over edge into it.

Cascade OK but moreso down to old frozen cat tracks in places. Did not do [closed for some reason] Double Dipper but heard it was good; I expect it was similar to DD.

East Fall OK.

Cascade runout [Spillway] very brown.
