Uno L6 7 y/o ripper chick from Central Cali. Hit up "Northern Lights" to "Christmas Tree" to Comstock, then hit "Grouse Alley" from the top sliding into "Lumberjack" and "Main Street" to Vista Express. Shot through "Sidewinder" progression park then back up Vista to "Logger's Loop" and "Upper Drop Off." Introduced her to the "swing" (aka the pomo lift) and we skied "Boondocks". Back to the progression park (eventually skied it 4X) and then back to "the swing" (skied "The Face 3X and "The Stash 3X). Ended the day on "Lower Pioneer" to "Village Run" to "Ski Trail Condos". Solid day of schussing. On a scale of 1-to-10 I gave it an 11 until a co-worker pointed out that I didn't score a girlfriend, didn't win the lottery, and didn't get a fat raise, thus moving it to about a 6 on his scale. I still call it an 11. Snow was variable, with the stuff off of Vista being the best (it had been groomed) and "The Face" being pretty good, too. Oh yeah, we skied "Washoe" and it was surprisingly good. It snowed a wee bit from about noonish until 3 creating fluff on scruff. We avoided moguls and tree skiing as it was pretty slick and gritty.
