This one will be fairly short....

Went to K with a school trip. Dirt cheap prices facilitated an average of 10 dollars a day for my 4 days skiing this year... Not bad if I do say so myself. It's bound to get more expensive.

Anyways on to the conditions. It had rained all night I think, with maybe 4 inches of snow at the top. Nothing spectacular. Fairly good snow though, soft but alright. Nothing to agregious to report, just a solid day of skiing. However, I hate the K mentality, I would much rather ski at a nonresort type place.

Oh my friends and I took some natural trail runs, here is what one of them got for a reward:

PS it was so foggy we couldn't take pictures of much of anything

I'll add a little prose to the Kmart Saturday report....

We hit the mountain a little later than usual to let the sludge get skied out a little. Maybe 9:15. We uploaded on the Snowdon quad and did a couple of laps there. Upper Bunny Buster and Highline were roped off so we were confined to Mouse Trap. We then skied over to the Superstar lift and did a whole mess of laps off that chair. There is finally enough terrain open off that lift that it's no longer bumper car skiing. The Superstar headwall was kinda nasty. Completely socked in and the bumps were funky... or I was. Middle Superstar was buttah though you had to ski next to the lift to get enough contrast. They also got upper Bittersweet going though you had to be careful not to over-edge since the manmade snow was rotting and you could get sucked in. After a couple of hours of laps, we dropped down lower High Road to Snowshed and even that had a nice surface. Then under the tunnel to Rams Head for a couple laps under the lift there. Then back over to the Snowdon Quad. They'd dropped the rope on upper Chute and Great Bear so we did laps on those. I think we finally bailed around 1:30.

Sunday, we woke up and looked at the thermometer. 26 degrees. We opted out. After that soft spring conditions on Saturday, the idea of venturing out on death cookies didn't appeal to us.
