I'm going to miss this due to poor planning on my part. I was at Rose yesterday and I had not seen this announcement.

Got caught off hand in snow!

It was great seeing everyone today. After a questionable early morning it got really nice.

Yes, that's snow coming down!


We ordered up some fresh pow for the group


The view from the parking lot.


It's not going to drink itself.


All the comforts of home.

I hope to be there next year! Looks like an awesome late season wind down.

@ScotsSkier - what was the flex of the AM77 today? Their website lists options from 1(Flimsy) to 10 (Cemented)

Thanks.

You were definitely missed.

When we left our house the skies looked like this.



When we got to Mt Rose to looked like this, no visibly of the chutes but there was hope.

After the hope, there was snow. But @Near Nyquist was still in a loving mood.

@Weegie McAdams and @Flying Dutchess brough a delicious bread pudding treat that was special for Easter.YUM!


The skies cleared and we saw the chutes...and ate lots of food.

Did I mention the mimosas?


@Andy Mink enjoins the afternoon sun


It was a great day with a variety of conditions, and a ton of amazing pugskiers. Lets start prepping for the 3rd annual Mt Rose day!

Speaking of the Augments, any initial impressions/thoughts on the FIS SL/GS versions?
