My overall impression for PC's opening day was "meh". Pretty foul snow coniditons. It was that wet/icy snow bullshit. It was really hard to get speed for most of the features. Brightons opening day a few weeks ago was fun. Pretty good amount of snow and a few pow stashes left over. I had a good time. At least it was puking in the mountains saturday while I was up at PC.

I've gone skiing. Conditions weren't all to good. Fun as hell though to be back on skis and jib around with my friends.

Opening day for me is going to be at Kicking Horse.
It's got a shit load of snow already. Mid mountain has more than the total base of the other mountains in the area.
Sadly, since it's Friday (Dec. 10th), I can't make it due to bloody college. So Saturday for me.

Summary, I don't get an opening day this season.

I feel for you. I felt the same way. I had a good time regardless of the conditions. I was pretty stoked and thankful for what I was working with. I had a ball on the jibs PC had setup.

Mt Hood Meadows was awesome on saturday, plenty of fresh light fluffy pow to cruise through, crowds were pretty light, no wind, just a perfect ski day. wish i could head up tomorrow, they've gotten another ~3 feet since then of incredible powder. tomorrow is going to be an epic day for some lucky people.
