Skied Zig Zag on 5-27-12 and found very smooth conditions. Unfortunately the weather blew in on our descent and we were forced to ski 25-50 turns and wait for the next sucker hole to open up. Not the 3800 feet of wide open arcing turns I imaged on the ascent, but all in all a good way to spend a Sunday.

I planned on doing the same route on 5/25. The 30 mph steady winds led to a quick change in direction at silcox hut. Plenty of sun on lower slopes but above silcox was in cloud bank. I got some nice but shallow untracked powder going back down. Too much sun effect on the powder so not worth the second lap on a slope that is not very exciting. I did appreciate powder turns at the end of May.
