Ah, back at Northstar, Glady's favorite resort. I was worried when I saw how
many cars were in the parking lot, but Northstar has an amazing ability to
spread the crowds out. At least it seemed less crowded than at Alpine, despite
the parking lot being so full.

Still, it's always sweet to be able to "cut" using Vertical Plus. :}

Anyways, beautiful blue skies, but again, the cold kept the snow in very good
shape. Even found bits of untracked pow on Lookout, in the trees. Gotta get
back there on a powder day, but considering that it had been a week since the
last dump, I couldn't complain. Thank goodness for cold weather. And oooh, 6
more weeks, or so says the groundhog!
