Thursday was the best. Snow was reasonably light considering the warm temp. The OB was really nice where you could find enough depth (next to and in the trees).
Out in the open you tended to strike surprise icy lumps.
Friday was wet as. The untracked was like slicing through wet cement. Where you crossed other tracks or the frequent body holes your balance was either right or wrong. Was great fun though, made you focas on carving cleanly. Just as well the cold front didn't arrive during the day, otherwise it would have set rock hard and would have been impossible to ski.
