Details:

Some fun "Spring-like" conditions on Wednesday.  Sunny and warm, and things
began to get sticky around noon.  Still, the stuff that was groomed was fine
up top.  Martis groomer on the new Lookout Mountain was nice, but not *that*
steep.	Unfortunately Prosser wasn't groomed, and it was nasty - chunky
moguls.  Thursday things were cooler, with some clouds, but there were still
patches of sticky stuff.  I was on skis for the first time in 10 years, so I
didn't get around to trying Prosser, even though it was groomed.  Oh well... 
Took Northstar's free lesson (Vertical Improvement Program), which was pretty
cool, just to get back into the groove.  All in all, a nice mid-week break.
