It's too warm too early, but fun skiing.

Re: saturday 3/15
Too warm too early but damn I love spring skiing!
Favorite was probably lower Flush: Eastern technical dirt skiing at its finest! It’s done for me, at least until we get a good dump, and I hope I’m not talking December. Perhaps it will hang on by a thread through the weekend.
Nice to have the OL BMMC bump course set up so early. Lots of partakers (not me, left knee on a pitch count, but holding up okay for original equipment). Even saw Team PomPom and her young charges there. They’ve gone from Snowshed to rocking the whole mountain in a season. We were wondering how many kids she’s taught over the years; a lot!
South ridge holding up surprisingly well. Pipedream awesome, and Break still solid. The sacrilegious groom a while back almost certainly helped preserve snow. The area at the Jug-Handle fork is fully exposed; now that’s a rock garden.
Snowdon “Quad” made an old-school appearance. Loading 4 per chair after a midday shutdown. Running on diesel my last ride; all 7 corrals full. Is Jay done? Didn’t see him today.
The decks at KBL and the Ubar were hopping, lots were full, great day for the mountain, but it will be a short season if it keeps up.

Re: saturday 3/15
Afternoon Report: Yep, another spring beauty out there. Had to tighten up the defense a bit, butt that's par for the Saturday course. Actually, not as crowded [at K] as I thought it would be based on the parking lots. Pico was pretty much full right out to Rte 4 though.
Yeah, some sort of SNAFU at Snowdon; power issue? Had heard Snowdon 6 not running earlier in the day [think they switched to the Triple] and then we got stuck in a huge liftline there during the running on diesel / 4 to a chair situation [and Snowdon Triple closed]. Also had a long shutdown later in the day at Supe chair [one of those you have to wait for techs to come in from wherever on their sleds, climb up and hit the secret switch, etc.]. Not sure why the lifties on station can't do whatever it is.
LEF good with decent moguls that had formed by the time we got there. Saw team Pom Pom [though too warm for Merisa to be wearing a hat!] down in the canyon liftline. Cascade was excellent.
Breakaway / Pipe Dream also excellent.
Old Supe very good as was the rest of Supe; seemed like skiing it in May.
Needle's Eye area rocked once again with Vertigo, Stitchline, and NE proper well in play.
Bittersweet / Old Bitter very good though had to share it with our 'Eastern' friends. Lower Bitter with nice bumps for a while.
Finale Mouse Run / Conclusion sweet; Conclusion getting bare in one spot as I've posted the other day.
Fun Paddy's Day dinner [CB and cabbage] with some friends in the evening was ROTD.

Re: saturday 3/15
wow bear was an even better call than i'd thought.
pulled right up to snow at 9:02am.
snow great from the get go
main area had little pull given the options at bear/needes/sky
i'd heard about snowdon but not ssq. i rode it a few times, never heard about outage.
the warm and sunday night forecast kept me out til last chair.
legs cooked, but more evenly by the soft (but a few times scary fast!) snow.
reminded me of that 80F april day two years back when a long season seemed all but impossible. the pattern turned cool after that. we'll need a snowy april!
