	Session	Full Day
	Ticket Type	Season Pass
	Lift Lines	6 to 10 minutes
	Trail Conditions	95% open; Powder, Packed Powder
	Glades	All glades wide open, most of which were untouched since Monday's storm. Good cover with the powder but a bit tricky to navigate unless you have the right skis.
	Moguls	Consistent bumps had formed on runs like Twilight Zone, Goniff Glade, Witch, the upper bowl of Mystery, and some others. Less-skied or lower angle ungroomed runs were either untouched or chopped up powder.
	Terrain Park(s)	Not open, manmade and new snow has been pushed out across the slope but no features have been built and the handle tow was not running.
	Run of the Day	Twilight Zone
	Food and Beverage	Cafe, take-out window, T-Bar, and Black Line Tavern all open.
	Comments	At last, it has snowed! 46/51 trails open (Everything but U. Magician, Black Magic, Pitch Black, Terrain Park) and Red and Green spinning. Conditions were great and varied across the different ungroomed runs, with more heavily skied runs (Twilight Zone) featuring consistent bumps, while less-skied runs such as Heart of Magician had choppy, thick powder from the past Monday. Red Line and Green Line were opened up for the first time this season on Saturday, with untouched thick powder. The new snow brought crowds along with it (At least more than what Magic is used to), with the Red Lift seeing 10-15 minute lines around Noon. Green Chair was ski-on for the most part. Going forward, it looks like this snow isn't going anywhere for the most part, especially with the low temperatures we've seen all throughout January. Some of the low-angle ungroomed runs such as Kinderspiel and the Mystery runout could be groomed out (Not much to work with there anyways) and the powder on the steep stuff will likely form into more crisp moguls later in the week. To top it off, there's potential for a few more inches around next weekend.
