    I want to go up tomorrow on Sunday and was wondering what the snow did to the trails. Was it worth it today?

    EPIC!!!! best day of the season by a million miles! snow runs in the am, crew removed id say 75% of snow from the runs but left long straight sections of snow. all the corners were clean. you could slide out but it was really fun. got soupy in the afternoon but was still soooo fun. everybody's vibe was awesome. you could hear hoots and hollers all the way up the chair from other riders. it was fun hitting the jumps in the snow. there was a decent amount of snow on the landings of the jumps in the am. made for interesting landings but was totally fine.
    tip for tomorrow: wear pants and a windbreaker or semi waterproof shell or jacket. you are gonna get muddy and wet head to toe!!! plus it was 20 degrees up top at 9am. warmed to 63 though.

    it was so sick i only stopped once to take this pic. i cant put into words how fun today was!

    Plus one on what OC rider said...did 8 runs in 3 hrs and proly second best it's ever been next to that time it dumped right before the lightning shut the lift down. Watch out for one of the left hand berms on the lower part of westridge on the exposed slope...no pavers and it really got slushy...spun me around 180 two separate times!

    Practically no lift lines too

    Did it snow again up there yesterday or today?

    No snow in the forecast unless they are starting manmade operations. Lows in the 20s every night means they should start stockpiling snow every night in the areas that don't get much direct sunlight.

    This sounds promising, updated today:

    It did not snow yesterday/today, but there is still a lot of snow on the mountain that melts into the trail. In the morning it is just slushy, but by the afternoon it is a mud fest. If you don't mind getting messy, then the conditions are good. I took one run on Sunday and didn't like the mess, so I rode off-park trails down.
