Quick report today: Conditions were excellent all over. Gore has been <BR>making more snow than I have ever seen them make and it shows. All the <BR>lower mountain cruisers were soft and carvable. Showcase and Quicksilver <BR>had some very interesting terrain features as they have not been groomed <BR>since the intensive snowmaking...there are some huge wales in spots. <BR> <BR>The upper mountain terrain was good as well. Chatimac and Hawkeye were <BR>both groomed, so no bumps, but the snow surface was good. Lies had a <BR>snowmaking problem on the headwall that resulted in a sheet (more like a <BR>block) of ice...after the headwall it was alright. There was a slot on <BR>the right that was nice early on but got skied off quickly. Open Pit was <BR>also good. <BR> <BR>Temps were cold, but warmed up into the +5 to +10 degree range with no <BR>wind at the base and a little breeze on top of the gondi. Not too bad <BR>after Friday's -20 on top of the gondi. Skies were overcast with light <BR>snow falling all day only resulting in a dusting on the cars by days end. <BR> <BR>I'll be up there tomorrow if anyone's in the area and wants to make some <BR>turns... <BR> <BR>-Scott
