January 29, 2011, Paradise and Mazama Ridge

     Low visibility and all 4 of us nursing either new gear or a cold meant a close-in day.  We may have gotten some of the better fresh of a couple weeks on either side (that's not saying much  :( ).  Lee and sheltered slopes had up to about 5" bonding to the older snow, while more exposed had sloughing mush on crust. 
     Bundy's and UnBundy's had light snow to start, but poor contrast handicapped us.  Several laps from Mazama down to the road hed better vis and consistent slope.  The snow got lots heavier but we could open it up more and enjoy some speed.  Not too many other skiers but most were staying near the trees.
     Thanks Nick, Ryan and Derek for a good day.
