It's funny to go back and read last year's posts: Boxing Day 2010 had flat light, skiing on groomers since there hadn't been much new snow, a good parking spot because there weren't that many people out. This year we had flat light, skiing on groomers because there hadn't been any new snow at all and a good parking spot ... and approximately 110 inches more snowfall.
The skiing is getting really bad. It's not even so much that it's eastern-style hard-pack, but that the base is so thin (33") that rocks are popping through everywhere. You can usually see the big ones in time but the teeny little ones that are easy to miss are just tearing the bejeezus out of the bottom of our skis. We did manage to find some semi-soft bumps on 3 Bears and skied that a bunch, although the trail is short and runs contrary to the fall-line so it's a bit annoying. Still, gotta get my bumps practice in so I'm ready when it finally snows.
I'm ready. Please SNOW!!!
