Sunny, temps rising from the low 20s at 10 AM to the mid-30s when I left at 1 PM. Had a voucher for a midweek pass so I used it. Started with several laps off the 6-pack, trying to feel like I knew what I was doing. Stayed on Jolly Jug for the most part, then picking one of the four ways down from roughly the same elevation as the top of Chute. Generally, snow was super hard to start out, but I left some pretty good trenches with the Enforcers.

After that, headed over to the Indian Peaks lift via Ambush, and got a bit scared by the narrower trail, high speed, and pretty slick conditions. Off Indian Peaks, took Around the Horn to traverse over to the Corona lift. From there, lapped the lift for a while, alternating between Corona and Muleshoe, both of which were pretty steep and slick. I think I could have gone full arc on GS skis, but on the Enforcers, had to slide the top of the turn a bit. Still, got a lot of angles, and good energy.

After I did that for a while, headed back for some laps off the 6-pack to call it a day. Mostly Jolly Jug, but did make my last lap on an ungroomed Powderhorn, which was actually pretty nice. If I weren't so wiped, I would have done it a few more times.

Really fun day.
