First powder day I've ever seen, and it was great! Left Golden around 7:00, to the basin by 8:15, and on the slopes till about 11:45! So much fun, and the trees were hiding powder even on my last runs. Anyway...
Sunrise and an inch of snow outside the apartment
Driving over the pass
Not a bad parking spot at all. About 8:15
Snow kept up most of the morning.
Fantastic conditions, especially mid mountain
Good to see some snow on the mountain again
Great day, so much fun. I might try and throw up some pictures from earlier in the season this week too, we'll see.

Last year was 4th of July, but I've been hearing June 3rd for closing this season. They're reporting a 45" base, shouldn't be hard to stretch that a month and a half.

It was interesting some of the spots where the powder had been skied off or up top where the wind had blown some spots free and loaded others switching back and forth between the nice, slow powder and the fast, slick ice.
