Date(s) Skied: Friday March 9, 2007

 

Conditions: Packed Powder

 

Trip Report: Arrived aprox. 8:10 am to blue skies and low temps. Was meeting my brother there, who is an Elk instructor. Got my ticket, booted up, and we hit the lift.

 

Conditions were just superb. Started with the runs on the east side and worked our way to the west side during the course of the day.

 

Lift lines were short, but longer than the typical mid-week day. Clearly many people came out to take advantage of such a great late winter day. However, once you started down you basically had the run to yourself.

 

For me, was probably the best skiing conditions I've ever experienced. Everyone was talking about it being such a great day.

 

I forgot my camera, but was such a nice day I snapped a few pictures using my phone. Thus explaining the quality of the pictures below.

Great shots! Glad you had a nice day!

"...best skiing conditions I've ever experienced.." says a lot about the job that Elk's groomer's do!

I skied Blue on Fri. night and Sno on Sun. night. Conditions were really good, but if I was the owner of Sno or Blue, I'd be offering Elk's grooming manager a big salary plus a signing bonus to lure him away!
