Went up for the party primarily and to get in a few runs.

Got into the lot just before 6pm, after dropping wife up in Summit to start drinking early and get first tracks with M80.
Most of the way up it was misting, but getting heavier as we approached the ridge.  Coming over the mountain, there was a bit of snow mixing in with the drizzle.
Employee lot was chock full of busses, there had to be at least 20 in there, but the slopes didn't feel crowded.

Razor's was being worked on by the groomers, which was looking quite thin on the inside corners, but they had a load of snow to spread around.
NM had some whales, but a groomer had made a single pass through them, so it's a mess.  DW was groomed but closed with a skier/boardercross course set up.
BMR had Challenge all to themselves.

Snow was compressed by the mist and warmth and was wicked fast, but very carveable.
Barney's troughs weren't soft, but weren't hard either, but they too were fast and you had to work to keep the speed in check.

After a few runs, retired to the bar where I saw Matt having a beer.  Took part in the 80's dress up contest, but got the boot first round. 
I think some ZZ Top dressed guy with a real beard won it.
