Details:

What a perfect day.  Even with the long 3 day weekend, the lines were
suprisingly short, 5 min wait at most, with most lines being only a 2-3 min
wait. I finally got to ski a lot of the expert terrain and had a ton of fun. 
For the BEST snow on the mountian, go to the left off Headwall Express into
the  semi-mougul bowl.	Once you exit the bowl, go off one of the drop offs to
your left.  The snow is soft and light, perfect!!!!
     My only complaint was I didn't get enough ski time.  I had decided to
demo  for the day and ended up waiting 1 1/2 hours for my skis.  Next time I'm
bringing my own skis just in case.  We also had to leave at 3:30 to go to a
party so I couldn't ski at night.  Be sure to get your $45 discount lift
ticket at Helm of Sun Valley in San Mateo.
