-5 degrees at the top. Didn't seem that bad....and was only windy near the top of each chair. So all in all, pretty good day. Didn't ever get cold. Awesome crunchy groomers.

Found nice powder in Sharon's bowl. Found wind affect below that then it was soft again in the trees, but not deep. Martin bowl was also okay, but below that the wind affect was really bad. I think closer to knoll 1 would have had the least wind affect. Didn't check out stokes or great scott. The upper traverse was closed and I needed some blue wax for my skis which were kind of sticky on the lower traverse. I've never even bought blue wax...geez.

Travers;-) open just nobody wanted to skip across the ice or plow through wind load. Option A was low to knoll 1 then boot up to traverse.
Draft Dodger rode fine esp. In the trees above suckers.
