Tuesday was sunny above foggy Vancouver. Eagle, Lions, Sky chairs zero queues. Nice corduroy ranging from cushy to a bit firm. Without Alton there, it was sooooooo much fun! :D :lol:

Day 16 - Excellent morning without LeopardSkin. Fog lifted by 9:10. Good visibility and amazing soft corduroy perfect for laying down trenches.

Low turnout so felt like I had the mountain all to myself.

Last run down Panorama = 32 x carve 360 ... boy my back leg was burning.

Day 17 - A morning of cruising with LeopardSkin and Mike without any crowds. Hero corduroy at higher elevations like Sky and Humpty Dumpty ... firm at lower elevations.

Had some nice turns with Matthew this morning. Excellent soft corduroy on Humpty and Horizon. About 7 CM of fresh snow on the upper half of the hill although it got sticky lower down. The Sky Chair opened around 10 AM just as the sun came out. Skied untracked snow on Ripcord.

Day 18 - A morning of fun in the sun. Hero groomers - not too firm, not too soft ... just right ... perfect for laying down trenches and tons of carve 360s. Plenty of runs with minimal wait times until 10:30 when the crowds rolled in.
