Today was the first ski day of our week long trip. Spoke to a lot of people yesterday and they all said the skiing was great, and it was very good today considering the lack of snow they have received thus far this year.
Vail is a huge place and I doubt they can cover it with manmade snow the way Deer Valley can. That being said, there were a lot of brownish spots on the popular runs. Certainly I kept my eye looking well forward and just avoided the brownish areas. I occasionally saw what looked like a stone. @Mrs. 53 had to do the skiing splits at one point as she was most likely going too fast and saw an exposed rock she let pass between her skis. I need to put a speed limit on her. This 50 mph stuff is a bit much
The runs got piles of soft snow as the day progressed towards lunchtime.
Overall on a busy Sunday, I would give it a 6 out of 10.
Supposed to get between 5”-14” depending on which forecast you are looking at from tomorrow (Monday) through to end of the day Tuesday. Fresh snow will be a welcome addition.
