Today was all time great at Crystal when Northway opened. They'd opened Chair 6 ~45 minutes before opening Northway and so everyone had vanished from Green Valley. I was in the first group of people through Gate 1 and it was all time amazing over the shoulder / face shots on every turn all the way down. Got to put down fresh tracks in blower under the chair from Gate 3. Then just lap after lap of fresh tracks off Morning Glory. Was still dumping at my truck in the parking lot when I left.
Snapped this pic of the huge crown on Penny Dawg (that's what the trail map calls the area from those cliffs under the chair, but that's not what the sign Penny Dawgs points to… I have no idea whether that's the proper name) from the chair, didn't look like it slid too far since looker's left was a bunch of debris with a few inches of new snow on top of it (guessing it went yesterday / overnight as I didn't see a bomb pit or anything either).

Southback never opened and tomorrow looks to be clear and cold. Should be good.
