Well - You are a bit smarter than me !! However, you will be surprised at what you missed. From this morning's K conditions report, that is actually talking about the stellar conditions yesterday [Tuesday - the day you missed out on]:

"Mother Nature threw everything in her playbook at us on Monday night, from r*in (yes, we said the r-word) to sleet to thunder and more. She finished off this round of precipitation with a serious snow squall yesterday morning which dropped two quick inches of fresh snow".

OK so far. To continue: "These fresh flakes helped us recover tremendously in the conditions department, in conjunction with an intensive second shift of grooming".

Tremendous recovery ??

Worse than that, was piss poor reporting of trail status on the app yesterday [Tuesday]. I checked it several times during the day and it was incorrect by a long shot on what was really open [including the advertised open trail count]. For example, supposedly open runs included:

- Lower Royal Flush
- Upper Royal Flush
- Full House
- Upper Chute
- Great Bear

There were several others. I don't want to guess wrong and incorrectly report on them as I didn't write them down.

This is unaccepatable; skiers/riders need to know an accurate status of lifts and trails.

Sorry in advance, but just had to chip in on this one. Especially for anyone that was out yesterday [Friday] in the super soft conditions.

From K's Saturday morning report: Last night temps managed to hit freezing, allowing for our show to DRY OUT for more optimal spring skiing.

Can wait to hit that dry pow this morning !!

I guess they figured since nobody likes the snow report they just won't update it for today.
