Crowds were light both days, Lot 2 served as a satellite Lot 4 as the return trail to the source lake uphill dog park TH has yet to exist, & the soup was enriched with copious amounts of Vitamin R. The padded seats get a much-needed break to catch their breath before coming back to life on Thurs.

deep snow in parking lots required strong driving skills
lots of little pockets of snow running under driven skis

Someone I shared a padded seat with said many folks turned around when I-90 reopened... I wish I had the legs to ride under the lights this evening, too.For a powder day, crowds were non existent. Good times.

NWAC, bless their heart, set up a coffee kiosk directly below the water tower.
a dog or a set of snow shoes and up they went with a courtesy cup of joe.
I hope they explained that the Alpental Valley is not mediocre avy terrain.
uphill traffic outnumbered downhill skier traffic by@37%, lots of new poop.

Haven't cut the traverse out on Lower I since the 80s probably (ok there's always a patrol track)
Way softer and smoother then anticipated, great turns
Merry Christmas, the present is always the best

Indeed no lift lines, nice country club day. Great to see you Flo, and Q at our snack break. Sorry to miss your ladies. Snow was 3" on a 1/2" rain crust of last night. As expected debris was impressive in Edelweiss powder bowl, below shot 6 and 5, and Lower International. Upper International was fairly smooth I thought, thanks to few consumersmediocre snow found, thick crust found, avy debris found
found no lift lines

what a fabulously mediocre day to ski Alpental. Edelweiss was better
than spring soft and nash was a smooth chalky joy to ski down.
