Details:

This snow was old back around Christmas - now it's just plain beat.  VERY
firm, icy in spots... but it sure makes you go fast.  Got a late start both
days, letting is "soften up" a bit in the morning (HA!), but still racked up
big vertical (for me) both days - 28K on Sunday and 25K on Monday.
Virtually no lines on Sunday - and the place was a ghost town on Monday.  Rode
right up to every chair all day.  Met some new people, listened to my new Rio
MP3 player... all in all, a great time, despite the crappy snow!
