We arrived at 8:30 and we were on the lifts at about 8:50. All lifts were running. We had the backside almost to ourselves for about an hour and the snow on the upper section was very nice. We had some great runs off of Southern Cross.<br> The lower half snow was your typical northwest powder. Most areas on both sides of the hill were tracked out by noon. However, there was still some good powder if you were willing to look for it.<br><br>A great day, but the mountain still needs about another 12-18 inches to cover some rocks etc.
