Snow was firm, but ski-able, not ice, but without sharp edges underfoot it occasionally posed a challenge. The snow also dramatically improved from 10-1, and then went down slightly as the temps dropped again. It got worked in some and was pretty good around noon though. I spent the majority of my day lapping Rime.

The snow on Mouse Trap was great! Those guns make an awesome consistency snow in these temps. The snowmakers more towards the bottom weren't my favorite, but a wet snow layer now there is likely a good base-builder.

Certainly cannot complain about re-opening day.
Sounds like hardpack, AKA, WHITE ICE....

Keep in mind the skis that I was skiing at the time were 2 season old park skis that have never seen an edge sharpening in their life...
