Warm Day, Hero Snow, Meltage :(

Temperatures averaged mid forties today.  The snow was spring conditions, the kind that makes everyone ski the soft bumps as if they are heroes.  There wasn't a line for a lift to be found, except maybe a short wait for anyone skiing Superchief mid-day through early afternoon.

Lots of really fun fast skiing on the ball-bearings this kind of defrosting produces.  I certainly hope the groomers and snowmakers can patch the holes that developed.  There was visibly less snow at the end of the day than at the beginning, as the pictures show - especially at the top of Yahoo.  Below are early-day and late-day pics of the developing holes, and the rest of the photos in the photo stack widget on top of the post.
