1/3/15 - Stevens

Busy day. More cars parked in the lots than I've ever seen before and still they had to send some packing for Yodelin before lunchtime. With all lifts spinning the crowd is manageable - worst wait of the day was ~5 mins in the early afternoon for Hogsback (then ride right on when we got to Tye Mill ???)

Higher-elevation north-facing aspects offered good snow. Anything else not in the woods was dust on a firm sun+wind crust. Aside from Skyline, the groomed offerings are pretty slim. Park is coming along nicely. There are still stashes out there if you're willing to work for them. Backside offers excellent brush slalom opportunities, but at least the creeks are crossable.

Storm in the forecast for tomorrow. Hoping for free refills in the afternoon, but packing for a free outerwear wash just-in-case. Rock boards are the new powder boards.
