The entire crew was chomping at the bit and headed up Ski Hill Road by 8:30 and loading 1st chair by 9:00.

The entire crew fanned out across the mountain, some warming up ripping the groomers while others jumped right in to the cut-up and crud that remained from the day before.

To everyone's surprise the snow conditions were better than the day before. Overnight the area picked up another 2 inches bringing the new snow total to 7"+ and it blew into the trees perfectly.

By noon Bart, Craig, Dave, Eddie, Tyler & our mystery guest decided to hike Mary's and were amazed when we jumped in and cut 6 parallel lines down the bowl in light knee-deep powder.

At 12:30 the group met at the bottom of the Dreamcatcher lift to swap out skis for afternoon testing. This process enables everyone to ski approximately 3 hours per day on 2 models in a variety of conditions and terrain.

Everyone went hard until 3 to 3:30 with "Fast" Eddie Atwood crushing it until 4:00. And then it was off the The Trap to fill out test forms and a little apres ski.

Then it was down to the condo's for a little R & R in the hot tub.

The group split up for the night with 1/2 heading to Teton Thai for dinner and the other 1/2 to Tony's Pizza to take in NCAA Final Four. Dave Hinz called it - U Conn by 6.
