Sunny, temps in the teens. Making snow all over the short lift side. Challenger and Look Mom closed for snowmaking, so I took a couple of runs on Ralph's and Hitchcock. Ralph's was pretty bad up top - they were making snow, and it was pretty sugary, but the middle portion and bottom pitch were decent. On Hitchcock, the snow was pretty hard and grippy, but there was a layer of death-cookie-like snow on top of the surface.

Cut over to the bottom of Smith, which was decent, and took a couple of runs on the only run that was open from the top - Conifer. Conifer was terrible. They clearly made a bunch of snow last night and didn't really let it drain or do any grooming. Not a ton of arcs to be laid there, but there was decent fun to be had playing on the snowmaking whales.

Just a quick morning, about 75 min of turns.
