Following Gary H's advice, Jason, Walter, Doug & I did multiple laps
In the ski area bowl where the Poma is not yet running. Warm temps.
And cool snow. The shady slopes were decent variable crud, and the
sunny face of Sunrise Point gave excellent premature corn in mid-afternoon.
Very stable (duh) with some sluff marks a day or two old. Fantastic sun & views.
I wonder how long the high pressure ridge will last.

Sunny spring like laps were found on the south slopes all day! The wind scoured slopes softened into a very nice 1-2 inches of corn! There was a very high vitamin D absorption factor.

A few more images from the day:

Mack,

It was great to finally meet up with you. The shady slopes in the bowl were great. We found excellent corn on Hurricane Hill. I've never seen the sky so clear. I was amazed how far north we could see into Canada.

We'll have to do it again!

Check out this guy trolling at the top of Hurricane Hill! I wonder if he caught anything (:

Busy day up there!
