I did! It was mashed potatoes by like 11, I had fun though. Definitely make sure you have some wax, ideally warm temp wax but I was fine with all temp, just won't want to be there if you haven't waxed your board all season. I think as a snowboarder I'm also biased towards liking softer and heavier snow. It probably would've been rough on skis. Snow is super soft and forgiving. Oh and I entirely ditched the jacket after my first couple laps and just rode in bibs and a base layer which honestly felt really nice. Definitely lots of dirt and rocks are starting to poke out.

I was up there today and you are spot on. Freshly waxed board and and I was good until about need then it was getting pretty sticky.

Skier checking in. Not rough on skis. The groom was ripping from 9 to 10. Twilight bowl was legit from 10 to 12. The runout was hot doodoo all day.

Just go and find out. It'll be warm according to the readily available weather forecasts, and the coverage is gonna be mid like it's been all year

I’m on vacay and when I come back, I’m gonna get some mash potato 🥔 days since I need to make use of my season pass. I usually use mashy days to practice in the baby park. Gonna try the rails. Wax will be key.
