Sunny. Temps rising from the mid-single digits to the mid-teens over an hour in the morning. SL freeski on Challenger and Ralph's. I didn't hydrate nearly as well as I should have last night, and the foot pain was back, though definitely better than before.

Snow on Challenger was surprisingly bad - kind of death cookies and really inconsistent surface. Ralph's, on the other hand. was fantastic - dry, grippy snow that was really responsive, even to the '17 SLs. Needed to make one recovery when I leaned in on a scratchy spot, but was able to pull it off.

All in all, a pretty nice morning.
