Loved: coverage, surface on Thunder, crowd not bad
Hated: too warm, the sunny exposures very soft after lunch
Closed: Only Holcumac marked closed, and it had a few tracks
Liftline-Waits: Intermittent up to 10 min Thunder, 5 min Ch. 4
Moguls: Excellent today, but they'll be crunchy tomorrow

It was sunny until 4PM, and T-shirt weather by noon. Most of Thunder was packed powder in the morning but softened by noon. It thus skied nicely all day today, but will be hard in the early mornings until they get another storm. Chair 4 opened about 10:30AM with good spring conditions which became sticky after noon. The Chair 1 runs are still well covered except near the bottom. They have fairly heavy spring snow and need to be timed for the best surface. Crowds were low for a weekend with everything open. Thunder's line was often < 5 min. and never > 10 min.
