monday 2/12 report

[skiadikt]

the piper came to collect today. overcast and a bit blustery. think the mtn did a good job putting the place back together after yesterday. very short 2 hr tour.

more of a punch the clock day. nothing particularly inspiring. for the most part if it wasn't groomed, wasn't worth skiing. there is also lots of sand around. highline at the bell was flat and hard. LEF was better. the other snowdon runs were decent.

bear was variable, clearly paying the price from our little spring fling. shorty and the dream park were the best. the others were rather chunky. cruise was good. supe was fuhgeddaboudit. one & done. lots of icey patches. bitter chunks & ice. we need snow and unfortunately we're getting less than originally forecasted.

The K-1 gondola was down this morning until about 10:30. We took the bubble up, then Northridge up and skied Cascade. We thought it was very good. Groomed, no one else skied it. It felt like a private run. We did 5 laps on it using the Canyon chair, then when the gondi started up, the mob came and trashed it. Fun while it lasted.

LEF was OK, Panic/Needles OK, Panic was better of those two. Supe was not so great as SA mentioned, Skylark better choice there.

Afternoon Report: Not much to add.

Cascade [not including the side jaunt to Escapade], LEF, and Highline co-ROTD. Highline better on left side than right. Cascade fine all the way down on the left, then right at the net [my normal path down it]. The side route onto Lower Escapade had a single groomed path that was very icy and outside of that was teeth rattling.

On Rams Head, Header and the Peace Park good. Poked into Twister for a bit but bailed halfway down. Skiable, but just not fun and took a core shot as well [hard to pick out rocks from the other downed stuff in there].

Mouse Trap OK with any of the Upper Snowdon runs to it OK with Upper Chute being the best.
