Groomer snow was good... icy on the steeps. It was real cold. I wore four layers. Toes started getting a little cold in the boot and I had to start moving my fingers to keep them warm. I wore a head sock under my helmet, so was pretty comfortable.<br><br>We ripped down all the groomed runs. Some like North Face and Bull Run made me a little nervous watching for boiler plate. Luckyshot was nicely rippable. Kelly's Gap was a beautiful ride, I passed on lower Exterminator, too many deep moguls. Some injuries were incurred from the icy conditions... one poor gal banged up her nose.<br><br>Wind was minimal and it was partly sunny and blue. I got off into a little powder, there was actually about 4-5 inches, but could feel the rough ice underneath it. Had a good day of somewhat effortless ripping.<br><br>
