Weekend Recap

Things went pretty well for MLK weekend up here in K-town. The mountain was as busy as can be expected for a holiday weekend, but all in all wasn't too bad. There were a few sightings of 'Open Jacket Jean Skiers', but that's to be expected and provides entertainement for those of us who don't ski in jeans(and for those of us who do). There is still plenty of snow in the trees if you know where to look. I know I was all,"the fiddle is gonna be great" all week, but the warm afternoon sun finally caught up to it and the snow has set up over there, leaving frozen Vdub sized bumps on the lower half. The "Cliff" is still fun and filled with snow, however the landing is similar to a hardwood floor sprinkled with baby powder(yes Drew, that was funny but I only lost one ski). With about 8" of new snow, albeit wet, in the last couple of days and a bit more on the way, expect things to get better as the week goes on. I was told MRG was real good on Saturday considering that snow has been scarce in these here parts. MRG had decent coverage and nice hero bumps if you were willing to overlook a few thin spots, but hey it's a mountain, not Coney Island! MRG has also picked up a few inches of what they call "micro powder" and should help cover up the moss. All the crowds are gone and we can have or mountains back. I don't expect a 'Powder Day' this week, but without using some tracked out cliche, Enjoy!
