I loved: 
POWDER- UNTRACKED - the steeps, the trees, N-I-C-E I'm still trembling with adreneline- AWESOME DAY
I hated: 
Tourists. They clog the roads and don't use the pass-me turnouts. What can you do?
Lift/trails closed: 
Chair 4 was closed, but who cares!
Liftline waits: 
NONE
Quality of moguls: 
None- lots of fluff on the steeps.
Jumps/Rails: 
Not into that stuff.

POWDER - POW-WOW! POW-WOW!POW-WOW! ONLY SOFT WHITE FLUFFY STUFF all the way down to the parking lot. Last run, I ski right to the van door and took off my boots.
UNTRACKED white, dry fluffy stuff for all runs from the top of Chair 1 to bottom if you know where to look, away from the mainstream. A couple inches fell going up the chair each for every run.
SO NICE- almost like floating on clouds in Narnia.
Today was THE DAY for the Baldy powder hounds that like the steeps off Chair 1. Absolute best day of the year that I have seen yet!
