Details:

WHAT A PERFECT DAY.  They got 4-5" of new snow the day before and the
conditions were perfect.  Sunny skies, soft packed powder, short lift lines,
EVERYTHING!!!  OH, and don't forget the discount lift tickets at Sun of Helm
Valley, $45.  There is one complaint, under the packed powder was very hard
packed snow and ice.  So in the later part of the day, look out for areas
which are skied off.
