Friday report:)
Great day - skied with skiputt, Rogman and Doria . . . MrG and Powday started later and were off on their own. Everything was great - no snowmaking . . . but there had been snow made in some areas that seemed sparse yesterday - upper Skyburst and more on Panic/Needles. Remained cold; however, the snow did stop . . . and, the Killington cloud appeared and made visibility questionable. If you're on the fence, get your butt up here - you will not be dissappointed . . . if you stay home - fine - more for us
K has done a great job!!!

It's been close to the freezing mark and relatively humid today. It only feels cold with the winds we were having earlier today.

Re: Friday report:)
I got out late and saw that the early-vacationing hordes were already heeding Mrs. G's advice and heading up to K.MrsG wrote:. . . get your butt up here. . .
I turned right instead of left and went to good ol' Pico.
I parked right up front by the maintenance building about 10' from the snow and about 100' from the Golden lift.
The snow conditions were wonderful again. Not as cold or windy as it's been. I met up with a buddy from North Carolina and one of his friends.
We braved the K cloud and went up to the Summit. It was icy (and dark - K cloud again above summit lift tower 15) between the chair and 49er, but 49er itself was beautiful.
Firm, but not icy in the middle - fluffy on the sides. We went back up again and again for more. The fog didn't even budge.
Newly opened Expressway was fun, but Panhandler was full of death cookies and crumbs. I was hoping they'd still be blowing so I could do some whale riding.
My friends are boarders so they had me doing half-a$$ed jumps from the ridges on Fools Gold and Lower Pike. Big fun!
