We all knew Skeeze was going to race for the Gravy Chute, just ask P-ho or CFSD, and if anyone wants to race while climbing vertical feet come up to June today. We will be climbing WAY more than the 200ft to the Hemlocks. HA-ha

Best snow I found was lower part of Dropout/Wipeout. Worth lapping a few times. Cornice was nice and Face of 5 had some pretty good snow.

Started out a few laps on Cornice which were pretty nice. Then went over to Scottie's, which was very nice for Scottie's -- had some snow on it you could kick around. Did several laps starting from Scottie's to lower 2/3rd of Wipeout -- liked the snow in there. Met up with Snownymph at noon, skied a couple of runs down Cornice with Slamski then we picked up Crazy Bob. Bob took us to the best run of the day - right off the back from the Gondi and stayed skiers left, even went a bit outside the boundary signs. Found some great powder in there, nothing deep, just smooth. The snow at chair 9 area was surprisingly holding up very well and through the trees when we went over late afternoon.

Seems to me it's usually so often very slick.
