had some sweet drops

story of today is ice, did not quite soften up because of some clouds that were on the verge of snowing all day. wallbanger was sweet except for a couple rock hiding between moguls. bravo to whoever they have grooming chair 2 and 3 because it is sweet. the grooming was deer valley status and i am not exagerating at all. so it was still worth even with the face being unskiable, at least wallbanger was going off.
