Snowboarding- advanced.
Although still February conditions very much (late) spring conditions.No lift lines- almost empty at times.Snow coverage still good -grooming/snowmaking crew must be doing a good ( actually great) job.However into the 50's ( I would estimate) and very sunny today - snowpack can only take so much of this.Northstar staff great.

Skied Monday. Very cold (15F) but blue sky and windy. Not enough wind to close anything. First time at this resort, lots of cat tracks to get around. Lots of icy spots. They were running the snow making machines on many runs which was very unpleasant. Its loud and pelts you with tiny ice balls that freeze to your goggles. Northstar was much better for groomed runs.

Bring your measuring tape. That was Sunday morning in what was a true glorious powder day despite some windy conditions up top. Once groomed the snow quality was excellent. Coverage is secure in all trails, off-piste still has some lightly covered rocks and trees looking to mess up your gear.

11” on top of a lot of snow already (9-11’). Amazing opening weekend! Lots of pow and nice groomed runs. Beautiful day!

Don't ski after 11am. Ridiculously dangerous. Almost lost my nuts. They should open upon sunrise at 6am.

Get on when chairs start spinning at 7:30am (spring hours) to carve the groomers. By 10am you can smear the un-groomed spuds under 23. :)
