I just skied snow summit on thurs. It was nice early on. Really well groomed a lot of hard pack some icy areas. Around 2 it was swamped out. The miracle mile was liquid towards the lower half and the snow on the bowl was slashed up. You could see the grass coming out on the bowl. I chipped a lot of p-tex off my race skis on thin coverage areas that come up so fast that its unavoidable. They need to coat that mountain every night or its going to burn in these conditions. Forecast still sees no snow for next 10 days. Cross your fingers pray for snow! I skied in my long johns and a t shirt seemed like its spring already.
