What will no doubt be a day that few here will be looking back on, with it being the day BEFORE the big dump, Friday was truly awesome for me.
Despite the SRQ NOT running, my first day back since November 6th (I went for the spring pass this year) was by far the best ski day I had this season thus far. I have 65 days in at other mountains and, by comparison, they were all at best mediocre. There is only one K.
My guiding light yesterday became any sign that read "thin cover". I usually don't repeat trails, but lower Royal is perhaps my favorite segment at K. I did it four times. Vagabond, Upper Ridge, and Low Road all saw repeats.
And then there was middle Supe under the guns. Yum.
Local friends were calling some places "firm". I called them packed powder. I could see some of you calling yesterday the worst of the last few days. I call it the best of the season so far.
I'm back, baby.

Afternoon Report: Yep, it was a good one. Still nursing a sore back but got snookered into doing a few things aside from the groomers.
Re: Firm - This started yesterday when the temps dropped below the "constant 32 degrees" of the past few weeks. The base certainly tightened up. With that said, still very good skiing.
ROTD: Stitchline. Firm, but pretty good cover and able to avoid most of the ice with creative lines.
One down Pipe Dream OK.
Can't remember much else !
