Nothing like a blast of sub-zero Artic air to keeps the slopes of K wide open for a weekend of warp-speed cruising. <BR> <BR>It was certainly cold. I will not tell you that I made it out before 10am on either day. You can call my tardiness whatever you would like (soft, uncommitted, etc.). I call it self-presevation. My place is at about altitude 1000 feet, and the warmest temperature I recorded was 2 degrees, and that was on Monday morning. <BR> <BR>Anyway, with the bitter air keeping most of the family units off the slopes, there were very few lift lines, even at Bear. <BR> <BR>Bear Claw, Wildfire, Dreammaker all held up well thruout both days. Certainly a little scratchy, but nothing too icy. Bottom of Bear Claw was in particularly nice condition... <BR> <BR>Superstar was great...fantastic coverage. Outer Limits had bumps on the skier's left but was grommed in the middle...good coverage <BR> <BR>Cascade, East Fall, and Rime were also very good. <BR> <BR>Conditions are not as good as they were before the freeze/thaw/freeze a few weeks back, but the dose of pow they received on 2/17 probably changed that.
