Michele and I left the Alpental parking lot on Saturday at 11. Slow morning. We toured up over the NE shoulder of Chair and down to Snow Lake. Back to car around 2:30. Snow from NE shoulder of Chair was initially wind blown styrofoam. Beautiful, solid wind flutes. Loosened up and got fun down toward snow lake. As usual, the best snow was in the trees above snow lake. We skied back down to the the alpental lot. We did cut some fun loose snow sluffs. Our sluffs were right at the same time that DOT cut some real slides onto I-90. The afternoon snow in the basin was sloppy. Great weather, nice views and some fun, but the ratio of good turns to work was quite low.
