Yep, was a bit shocking hitting that firm section. Maybe they groomed it early, idk. Only "firm" snow I encountered, everything else was fine. Skiers right on Mars was sublime. I don't know why it took patrol so long to open the last drop. Everyone was ignoring the closed signs. I skied up to the patroller when he was taking the signs down, I told him he was late, but I didn't hear his reply, I had tunes on.Just watch the middle part of Mars. it was rough, which was unexpected since the top part was so lovely. If someone has tips for skiing through ice chunks, I will sure take them. I ended up skiing the green off lift 5, which I haven't done in years, and really enjoyed it. It was super soft and fun to play on. I am (hopefully) at the tail end of some stomach bug thing which had me flat on my back on Thursday. Today is the first day I have had lunch. I am looking forward to hitting the main mountain tomorrow.
So, how do you ski through something like that? I just pretty much slowed down through it. On my first run, I went through the middle, then I tried the left side, which I thought was worse, and then the right side, which was ok, but then you had to avoid the tree covered in snow, and it still sucked for a little bit. How did you handle it?
