There were group buses at the parking. We saw at least 3.

The mountain was really foggy, particularly at the Cut.

But it got cleared out occasionally.

Snow was slushy like late spring, with some part pressed choppy areas.

Rookie park:

Peak and many of blue runs had this caution sign.

Paper Trail did not, but had some sketchy parts. We’ll upload Paper Trail video later to describe more about it.
