I got into town yesterday afternoon and plan on being here for a while. I got out REAL early this morning to fulfill my obligations as an information specialist. It was about 5 degrees this morning but warmed up to about 15 as the day went on and the wind was light, so all in all the weather was good, if not just a little cold. I wasn't sure what kind of shape the snow would be in since I haven't been up in a week+ and there hasn't been any significant snow in just as long. I was surprised to see that mountain was in great shape. The groomers are skiing real nice with a few firm spots and the occasional ice patch. On my first run I took Racers only to find that it was closed at Flush, which turned out to be not terrible,but nothing you want to run laps on. All of the usual fun spots still had good cover and were skiing well. I managed to do a little exploring and found a couple of new spots with a few soft, fresh turns. The buzz on the mountain today was Devil's Fiddle. For the first time in as long as I can remember, they've lit up the guns on the Fiddle. I went over to check it out and ended up making three runs under the guns, soft and buttery is the only way I can describe it. All in all, a really good day. I'll call it a 6 on the EI.
