I did a couple of runs today and while powder was harder to find and scraped areas were more common, the skiing was still quite good. The crusty base seems to be holding up well, but I had no problem keeping an edge on even steeper scraped areas. More surprising is that lift lines were still not an issue. That will probably change with tomorrow's start of the holiday season, but it is hard to know how many folks may have changed plans. Still I will probably stay away for the next few days and let my slot be used by folks who aren't here every day.
At 15:00 it is -5 C with a light, unpromising overcast.
