Summit West Night Skiing - 2/29/2012
« on: 02/29/12, 11:31 PM »

Only 50-100 people even on the mountain.  Knee deep and fluffy, untracked powder every where, and only kept getting better.  Lapped the fringes of 360 Bowl... caught a little snow in the face on the steeper sections.  Getting to be too deep on the flat terrain there!

Best night skiing ever!  Snowed about 3-4 inches from 7-10.

Snow didn't change over to rain until exit 32 coming back.

Agreed!  What an unexpectedly fun evening - got there at 4 and hit Wildside for a good long time.  Even the edges of the main runs held on till close- finished the evening wih slow buttery turns back to the car.

Lonely Parachute skied well over the in the darkness too!  Gentler slopes were definitely slow and oddly grabby, no matter how wide the skis.
