Re: conditions were awesome yesterday...

Sat/Sun Feb 17-18.... just  perfection conditions. Most runs were groomed and by 11am the ice crunchies had softened up... but not too mushy. Mokelumne and Porridge Bowl were just a dream.
I tried the lower mountain for the first time in a couple years.... wow, what an amazing part of the mountain! I keep forgetting how much more dramatic of a bowl it is down there. Conditions were not as good on Snow Valley on Presidents Day as I had to leave by noon... things were a bit icy still. But it looks as  good a place to ski as any place I've been in California, including Mammoth.
