We were able to skin and ski from the base without sparks or sharks today. There's 4" of fresh snow on firmer base up Quicksilver. From there the route is not well filled in but in the basin itself we skied 6" of perfect soft powder on a firmer base without wind or sun affect. Today's partly cloudy skies and light wind likely preserved the excellent conditions. What a Thanksgiving gift. The staff at Crystal are busily readying for Big Friday!
And here's a video of the conditions from Griff: https://vimeo.com/192997803
