Hopefully a bit more on top of what is real firm now too.

I am planning to sneak away from work early afternoon. Hopefully it keeps piling up.

I just saw your pics from yesterday...so scratch that firm underneath comment, up high anyway! I stand behind the hopefully it keeps piling up comment because that's always good!!!

It’s my last day of work so if I get out early enough I’m game for some gate laps this afternoon.

Mad jealous, have fun out there.

It was really good early, then good later. Seemed crowded, but lines were very manageable. Whenever Nash gate opens that should be really good.

Nash gate didn't open today. Only Elevator. Was getting sticky down low but snow was great up higher. When it pops, it will be awesome. Snowing good now. Hope it keeps up tonight.

It was a mix of sporty and spectacular depending on elevation and aspect but there were turns to be had.

Big wads of fun with the mofros and seatown slackey. Thanks for waiting for the old man.
Variable with emphasis on the good soft stuff here and there.

Hit night session with my daughter, left around 9. Amazing snow for late March and dumped the entire time and all the way home. Tomorrow should be nice.

Definitely a dust on crust situation in a lot of places but had a surprisingly good time. Did a short tour up to Pineapple Pass/Big Trees after since Nash Gate didn't open and that was the best snow I had all day. Zero crowds out there.

**phatty** · 03-25-2023, 04:13 PM

What a crap show with lines and parking today. Shutting down West when it is still prime ski season combined together with reporting more snow than anywhere else and it was a disaster. For the 90 minutes the lesson kids had lunch, the Armstrong line was pretty reasonable.

Luckily the skiing saves everything. I had my whole family so I was kept to the lower mountain, but it skied great. Not sure I've seen grooming on the lower mountain that good in a long time. I bet it was great up on 2, but none of my kids wanted to wait in the line. Stoked for anyone who was able to get the real goods.

Weird no Nash gate, they've had it open a lot this year. Stability seemed good across the way yesterday. Cornice concerns maybe, though it wasn't particularly stormy lately or warm today?

Nash gate was open on my second run and everything was skiing great back there.

**Mofro261** · 03-25-2023, 08:53 PM

Low expectations with ski school and crowds...very good turns to be had on all my laps.

By the looks of it, things got skied pretty hard in the backcountry over the weekend but we managed to find a few small pockets of untracked snow that skied amazingly well this morning. Made it to work by 10:15 too.

Getting soft turns, then to work by 10.15. Strong! Well done.
