Ski Day 16: Quite a day. It felt like winter. It was cold, and above the saddle it snowed most of the day.
First a lap off the front...
Foxlair
Clearly Uncas was the place to be as it was getting the full treatment. After 4 or 5 runs split between Uncas and Topridge, we headed down to the quad...
Pine Knot
We skied Hawkeye and Lies and they were really good.
Hawkeye
Based on what I knew about conditions in the trees, I had no business sacrificing groomed snow for the ungroomed. But like a salmon naturally swims back to it's birth place, I skied down Chatiemac and...
...in I went. There was no real danger of bottoming out. The snow was dense and icy, but still (barely) carvable. It was a lot of work.

I skied with Xman almost the entire day, he was not hard to keep track of...
Topridge
The bottom half of double barrel was also open and quite skiable...
I'd run into Mike in the morning and he'd was pretty clear on one thing... without some help from mother nature, we weren't likely to see additional terrain. No blowing on Chatiemac, The Ski Bowl or...
The Dark Side.
Hard to imagine a season without it.
X and I wanted to ski everything, so we went over to Burnt Ridge (also a first for me this season). At lower elevations, the sun was occasionally peeking through, while it continued to snow up top.
After we skied Sagamore and Echo, we did two laps on the North, and then headed back to Uncas to ski under the guns.

Good day. One highlight was getting to meet JD of NELSAP fame, and ski a bunch of mid-morning runs with him and his boarder buddy Mark. (Sorry we didn't reconnect after lunch - my phone battery usually doesn't last much past midday).
Gore's pretty big even when you're only getting a part of it.
My hat is off to those who've worked hard to make the season fun.
