Trip Report/Photos
Despite the unseasonably warm temps, there was still enough snow for three complete runs and two secondary runs, along with an amazing terrain park with ramps, rails, and jumps (all of which I avoided). My friend Omar and I had a good time on the slopes with him snowboarding and me skiing. I hope to try this again when we have another snow storm to blanket the entire mountain.
