But deep powder all the time? That is suspect considering when I left, everything including far skier's right in the Orchard was tracked out completely and flat as a pancake or bumped. That means at most four to six inches of fresh between the time I left and the resort closing. Not saying I did not miss some good skiing and maybe a few drifts skied really well late in the afternoon, but even the Steve Wright, JPR Marketing/Sales Director, mentioned publicly that Sunday was less than epic.

You must have left too early. After an early lunch the snow was pouring down and the wind picked up. Around 2pm, everything was down except the red chair so we headed across the cat walk and hiked up to the Dip...it was dead, and untracked boot deep powder. By the time we got back to the red chair the line had died down. We hiked up the goat and headed to tram side. Dropping in to Beaver Pond was crazy. It was 3:15 and it was totally untracked. We took the beginner chair back to stateside with BIG smiles on our faces, and took one last run in Hellswoods before calling it a day. The upshot...you should have stayed...it was a crazy afternoon..... Ahh….thats not how I remember it. You must have left too early.
