Quik Update of weekend. really perfect weather with great conditions! Cold enough to keep from getting all stanky...
Friday was cloudless and cool, Sat & Sun had slight breezes, with SUnday having a light overcast - enough that I went to Yellow lens, but still very nice.
Delux conditions everywhere - Dave's awesome, under Heuvos, Upper Dry Creek had really smooth blown over a soft base. CLimax was cut up with some exposed Feldspar, but still very nice. Cornice... well you know that story... it hasn't changed... LOL Dropouts were great!, Wipeouts were Great! Even Scotty's was not overrun.
Monument had some great fill with Refills (like Dave's) most of the 3 days.
Backside/14 was... not my cuppa. Groomers had everyone blastin and off groomers was grabby snow (front side was way better). Saw 6 collisions on one run down, so I immediately jumped on chair and back to the front.
Never got to Lincoln or to Canyon side, but some comments from friends said they had absolute fresh, until the avalanche on upper 9 shut it down.
Chair 5 was nice, but top was moe betta. Chair 3, same story. Race side was fun/good when you wanted to go to main.
Super nice way to start the season...
I'm booked already to go 19th-21 and high-tail it before the wkend holiday crowd hits...
Lotta loose missiles being fired, so stay aware of 'in-coming' on the showboat groomers... surprised there weren't more serious injuries
otherwise
Stoke was high for everyone I rode up with. Buddy and I had really hard time getting to the car every afternoon after lifts closed... LOL!
Hopin for more snow before next Wed...

Wish I could go. I will be skiing, but have to be at work in Davis at 7 a.m. on Friday morning, so probably not a good idea to go to Mammoth. Have fun!
