Some decent skiing.
My brother was in town from Pitt for a few days so took a long weekend skiing with him. As a flatlander Ideally we'd of hit Eldora first for his sake, but we had to go there on Sunday for ski race training so instead did a Winter park, then Copper then Eldora itinerary. He arrived just as the frigid weather was subsiding in the mid-west (his flight was one of only two out of 5 daily flights that SW ran between Chicago and Denver that day). He also arrived a couple days after a storm cycle so things were quite soft, but no new pow to ski.
Just he and I on Friday at WP, the whole family on Sat at Copper and then without my wife at Eldora for 3 of us that day. Still hate WP operations. Just about everything they do annoys me operationally frankly. Add that to a horrible lift layout and the only reason I keep going back at all is: shorter time on I70 than Copper and higher snowfall (esp recently). So basically I keep coming back recently in spite of the Winter Park team itself.
Anyway, more info in the picture captions below.
