Sunny becoming cloudy, temps near 20F. Despite the temps, was overheating. Over a foot of snow yesterday, so the hordes were out. Lapped Ptarmigan until 9 opened, and then headed up there. Took advantage of being a single to move way up in the long line.

Mid-thigh deep snow. Awesome turns, hard to keep going on the flat. Mostly lapped the rope line before Super Bowl but also took a try on Jelly Roll. First 4 laps found untracked turns. After a while, started getting tired and headed back to Ptarmigan and 6.

Took a final lap on 9, heading past the cat pickup and down the first ropeline toward the top of 4–untracked again. Then across the flats and down North Chutes (surprisingly bad), up Ptarmigan, and then to the bottom.

Really fun day. Let’s try it again tomorrow.
