Thanksgiving powfest was the best mellow powday I've ever had at Crystal. This past friday was a close second.
Really think it was betterer. I heard several Crystal "lifers" outside of our merry band making comments like best ever or never seen it as good. Wasn't necessarily a matter of depth (telem and snowphone reports certainly didn't communicate it) or even powderyness but somehow in combination just pure perfection. Even on the first ride up Chinook & Rex it didn't look like it was going to be that good and I've probably skiied Doors a few times when it's been deeper this season. Perhaps it was the slightly upside down snow that was still very light (for here) on top?Quote:

It was on and off white out blizzard dumping, and sunbreaks today, alternating every 5 minutes or so. A fantastic day to hide away in trees where the goods lay deep and soft.
