I did most of my skiing on upper and lower FIS. The moguls on upper were quite large. The tops of all bumps were very soft but most gully's were firm. Coverage on Black Snake and FIS, both upper and lower, is still fine. I was a bit shocked by the condition of other areas though. One problem is that those grooming machines dig up dirt and spread it over a wide area. <BR> <BR>The bottom of Madonna 1 under the lift is getting very scuzy again. <BR> <BR>Although, lift lines were very short to non-existent, the lower part of madonna was pretty congested at times. Probably the result of a few choice trails seeing most of the traffic. Even upper FIS went from totally empty to rather crowded. <BR> <BR>One problem, a ski popped off three different times. I probably need to move the binding tension up a notch for these type conditions. <BR> <BR>Also, I hand rubbed my skis with swix yellow before starting. Man that stuff is fast! It was a little too fast in the moguls sometimes!
