Night skied at Summit West. (I know, the little one). <BR>Tempuratures were mild mid-30's. Almost clear skies <BR>with just a light high cloud cover that the brighter <BR>stars peeked through. Snow was 18" of spackle that <BR>had a very firm crust that sounded hollow when pole <BR>planting. Off-piste was pretty nasty with that crust <BR>preventing any kind of low speed turns. <BR>Basicly, the only way to ride was flat-out high speed <BR>and hope to control the tossing around the snow inflicted <BR>on you. Grooming was very ridgy. It was described <BR>as "overly grippy" by my wife. It felt to her like the <BR>snow was in charge of the skis, not her. A lifty told <BR>me they're expecting up to 30 inches of new starting <BR>Friday night. -TomK
