I'll give you a little weekend update. Saturday and Sunday both had unlimited visibility and temps around freezing (Celcius) but with the sunny skies it often felt warmer, especially after a big bump run! I finally left my neck tube at home! Today I was overdressed for the bottom half of the mountain wearing my winter pants and jacket with one light fleece. I was ok up top where it's still cooler, but don't like to be so sweaty at the end of a run. I should have worn just a layer of Goretex and a base layer and light fleece. Goggles or sunglasses? I ended up wearing my goggles. Like I said, it's still cool up top. That's it for the clothing report. Crowds were lighter this weekend. The snow is still winter-like in the alpine. In Cockalorum for example, it was hard pack, with a firm slide in. Same with Blow Hole. I don't do cornices. Xiggy's on Blackcomb still had powder in spots on Saturday but because of the exposure it wasn't exactly the light stuff. The snow softened to spring slush around half-way down lower Franz's. I think the temps are supposed to rise this week bringing the slush level much higher up the mountain. Some of the mid-mountain skiing is getting a bit tricky with the snow starting to get sticky and yucky little moguls popping up here and there. (I like a proper mogul run, however.) No bare spots and tons of terrain and amazing views. Everyone's smiling. Sunday, April 5. I’ll give you a little weekend update.
