Comments | With a terrible weather pattern (rain and warm weather followed by a flash freeze and subsequently colder, windy day), we rolled the dice and went to Magic. Conditions were not phenomenal, but were decent considering the hand they were dealt. Appreciated the late (10AM) opening, because it indicated they had kept the snowcats off the snow until the freeze. Roughly four ways groomed off the summit - on the east side, Magic Carpet from the top, then Medium/Magic Carpet/Trick, then Lower Magic Carpet/Show Off/Carumba/Hocus Pocus/Lower Magician. Wizard top to bottom (plus Rabbit Run) on the west side. Groomed trails were firm with golf balls in the morning, but eventually softened up to spring snow in the sun in early afternoon. Non-groomed trails, apart from low elevation flats, remained bulletproof with unpleasant frozen ruts all the way to last chair. Really wish they had done a few grooming passes on Talisman, since it would have been nice this afternoon (was bulletproof). Witch through Magician were closed down to Link (with the exception of Broomstick to Heart of the Magician, which were both fairly unsavory), likely due to the boilerplate; each looked like they could have been open if it was 5-10 degrees warmer (though there are growing bare spots on Lower Witch and only the side of Magician looked skiable). Slide of Hans also closed, but looked doable if not bulletproof. Only the Red Chair and carpet running today. Never more than a couple chair wait. The remaining snowpack was better than I had expected after the rain/warm weather; only a few thin/bare spots. Initially started in rock skis, but swapped them out for my regular skis when I saw good the snowpack still was. Unless there is a lot of melting this week, it seems like most of the mountain could be open next weekend. |
