Today was a fantatstic ski day with fresh snow, sunny, no wind and warmed up to the 20's. Magic had the Red Chair running with 6 to 8 inches of fresh powder. I didn't see any ropes, but did see some Thin Cover signs. The light powder was over virtually no base, but I had planned ahead and brought my nastiest rock skis.
Wizard was reasonable, but has some water bars with water in the ditch that had to be hopped. Broomstick was fun with a few manadory stream hops. I didn't ski Master Magician or Red Line, but others laid down some tracks. Heart of the Magican and Sorcerer held some nice powder. Lucifer was reasonably well covered and fun skiing. Talisman had some great lines. All of the West side trails had some p-tex shredding rocks, but it was worth it.
Most of the East side trails had been groomed (still lots of powder shots along the sides) and were legitimate packed powder. Some of the grooming tilled up dirt, rocks and twigs which added to the challenge provided by the water bars.
Magic had the snow guns going on Kinderspiel and were making a whale where Lucifer joins Video Blvd.
A weekend powder day at last! I need to get busy with a p-tex candle and a scraper to repair two core shots.
