FROZEN
Hit the WT for rope drop, unfortunately the snow was groomed concrete and to make matters worse I brought my pow skis thinking there was going to be some fresh or at least leftovers from Fri/Sat.

The little precipitation that fell overnight was liquid and froze, leaving thin layer of ice.

Did a few laps on Says and Cupp. Lots of carnage at bottom. Headed back to basin and made several runs off Ballhooter lift. Snow was much better...must of blew snow or the grooming was later (after frozen crap). Headed back to WT after lunch, temps rose and the snow softened up to made for some good stuff on the sides. Tried to meet up with skipanther but we never found eachother. The trees and lift lines have a first covering, not enough to ski but the start of a base. Should be ready next weekend.

I picked up a 4 day Epic pass couple months ago for $370 or so. Well worth it IMO. Window price for single day was $139 last year.

+1 on epic pass! The only way to go. Pays for itself quickly.
