A big dump at the resort overnight (including snow in town). Stuart and I headed out to Greely for a few laps. Unfortunately it warmed up quickly and the snow was pretty heavy. We didn't start until noon as Greely Bowl didn't open until 11 or so due to avy control. We did get a fairly untracked run down the bowl and the skiing on the trees was still fun despite the heavy snow. Glad I took the fat skis - might have been the only time I used them this year? We missed the Ripper (planned) and it takes about 25 min to get to the top of the lift. Probably only 10 minutes longer than skiing down and taking the lift up. We skied all the way to the bottom which was a mistake - so slushy and so much suction... it was way better the last two days. Goes to show that an overnight freeze is very useful for spring skiing.

New snow was a bit reactive so didn't climb all the way to the usual start point.
