	Session	Night
	Ticket Type	Retail Price
	Lift Lines	0 minutes
	Trail Conditions	85% open; Spring Snow, Frozen Granular
	Glades	Still nearly full snow cover in the woods.
	Moguls	Top to bottom on The Face, a good portion of which appear to be seeded. Soft and forgiving tonight.
	Terrain Park(s)	Two - a walk up one in front of the lodge was popular, while the T-Bar served one on Blubber was empty.
	Run of the Day	Upper Face
	Food and Beverage	Food court was actually open during dinnertime! Chicken tenders and fries were $8.00.
	Comments	Did the $20 last two hour ticket. I don't know if it's attributable to the new management put in place last month or if it was just an organic evolution, but Whaleback was significantly better tonight than it was when I skied here in January and last February. More snow has been made, lights have been repaired, the T-Bar is running, and the food court is actually open for dinner. All four of the upper mountain night skiing trails were open with good spring snow conditions. Ambergris, Dorsal, and Spout were groomed, while Upper Face was soft moguls and whales. Of the lower main mountain night skiing trails, Scrimshaw and Canyon were closed. Lower Spout had racing in progress, but the other side was open (but with some random firm boilerplate). Lower Face wasn't too good, as it had set up with two sets of racing ruts that hadn't been pushed out. My first time skiing off the T-Bar; slow lift and very short trails. Saw maybe half a dozen people venture over there for a run or two. Blubber was okay, while Lower Ivory Run had a little granular on top of boilerplate. Trail lighting is better than it has been during the past couple of years, but there are still quite a few dark spots, including the entrance of Upper Face, where you have to point the skis and hope for the best.
