		Submitted on March 14, 2026 by snowphoenix (214)
	Session	Full Day
	Ticket Type	Season Pass
	Lift Lines	3 to 5 minutes
	Trail Conditions	35% open; Frozen Granular, Wet Packed Powder
	Glades	None officially open, but people were ducking into various glades. Gondi Glade looked to have decent coverage, but you were scraping the ice underneath the powder on every turn. Other glades looked quite bony.
	Moguls	No true bump runs open, but many of the steeper trails developed small moguls as they got skied off
	Terrain Park(s)	The larger terrain parks were open but I didn’t go over to the Whiffletree area today
	Run of the Day	Gondola Line
	Food and Beverage	Did not partake
	Comments	Post thaw-freeze recovery continued today with the reopening of the snowmaking terrain in the King Pine area, where the ropes dropped a couple of hours after opening. Timberline was slated to run too, and while it was spinning briefly in the morning, it never opened since apparently conditions at the summit were ultimately too poor. The mountain was busier than yesterday due to it being a weekend, with lines of 5-10 minutes at upper mountain lifts in the morning, although it emptied out substantially in the afternoon. The 3-4’’ of new slightly wet snow overnight made for some nice fresh turns for the first hour or two, but many of the steeper trails got skied off towards the end of the day with choppy loose granular or golf balls from yesterday mixing into the powder, with boilerplate patches developing as well. Gondi Line (open from Spillway X-Cut today) was nice just after it opened. Lower angle trails also skied well, especially Timberline. Cloudy day with occasional breaks of sun and light snow throughout the day. Comfortable temperatures, though it got moderately windy on the upper mountain.
