Details:

Skiing on weekdays is the BEST!!!!!!!  NO lift lines to battle through.  For
no snow in a month...the snow condition was very good.	It was hard pack and
packed powder conditions but very skiable still.  There were a few places
(Challenger on the backside)  where the snow was ALL skied off which lead to
skiing on ICE.	Also there were place with thin cover which lead me to nick my
skis twice on the same trail (Iron Horse).  Its P-Tex time for my skis.
Overall.....the trip was good, except for my two gouges in my skis.  If that
didn't happen..I may have give this trip a 8  oh well.	It is snowing now and
reports say 2 ft.!!!!!!!  Its time for a day trip this weekend.  Let it snow
