Even more runs opened. Paper trail to the mid-station opened! It was foggy, but a lot better than the last couple of days. Snow was still heavy but not icy. Magic carpet finally opened, so it's a great time to start learning snowboarding for newbies, and also for learning switches for intermediate snowboarders too.
