It was great weather to ski Tucks today, 60° - 70°, and bright blue skies in the morning, which remained mostly sunny, though filled with many fair weather clouds in the afternoon. <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/8/1153.jpg" ALT="Bowl"> <BR>Longest run was on the right, above Lunch Rocks, about 400' vertical, but mushier snow. <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/8/1154.jpg" ALT="Right"> <BR>Nicest conditions were in the Center (though many crevasses beginning there) <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/8/1155.jpg" ALT="Center"> <BR>and Left side of Bowl, where the corn snow only softened up a few inches. <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/8/1156.jpg" ALT="Left"> <BR>Over on that side was a shorter 300'-350' run. Although Left Gully might have been half-skiable, it's not quite connected to the snow in the Bowl. The remaining lower half of the Chute was "skiable", though the throat is pretty hairy; one skier braved in late in the day, pausing quite a while before negotiating the throat. <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/8/1157.jpg" ALT="Run out"> <BR>The run out is getting shorter, but was not too badly undermined yet.
 
Thanks for the first-hand report! Some of us were speculating backchannel on what it was like.
