Day #1 It Can't Be April 8th...

With the current storm total at 12" our entire crew arrived 45 minutes early as everyone was chomping at the bit for 1st tracks. Intermittent snow showers gave way to a high overcast affording better visibility without "baking" the fresh snowfall. This resulted in fresh lines throughout the day.
Our crew of 22 spread out and canvassed the 2,000 acres throughtout the morning returning to the base of the Dreamcatcher lift with smiles on their faces. At noon we did the "flip" and moved everyone around on the test skis for the afternoon.

In the afternoon Mary's Nipple opened and Luke, Avi, Craig and Bob Larson (yes you read that right Joan...) lead the charge and were the 1st to hike in search of the best snow on the mountain; and they were not disappointed.

The end of day pattern set up nicely with everyone heading to the Trap Bar to fill out test forms, regale each other with stories of fresh tracks and hidden stashes and a few adult beverages.
