Comments CommentsThe only lift still operating is Superstar.

The temperature remained below freezing overnight at the top. Snow still coated the trees on the upper 2/3 of the lift serviced terrain. Conditions were loose granular up top, transitioning towards corn snow towards the bottom.

Superstar was groomed down the middle from top to bottom. Skiing from the top involves navigating around the huge glacier on one of three or four narrow ungroomed ledges on the left side, one of which terminates in a small ski jump onto the head wall. For an easy bypass one could ski the Nivis Walk to Launch Pad, both were groomed well. The lower 1/3 of the Superstar was soft corn snow, and it bumped up fairly quickly.

Upper Skylark was groomed and had good coverage. Lower Skylark had thin coverage, and was not groomed.

Lower Bittersweet was groomed, but is probably approaching the life support stage.

High Road was open to Bittersweet. It was groomed, and skied well.

Ovation was open, and the middle section was groomed.

Some light snow started to fall around 10. Skied until Noon.
