Got up at 4:40, in hindsigh shoudl have been 20mn earlier to get first liftat 09:00 (including a 10-15mn charging stop on the way up), but close enough :)

Saw Sierra on the way up but it was already closed

the base of SLT looked somewhat snow free

Heavenly CA parking lot was fairly full for a wednesday

let's get to work :)

fairly good powder at the top of sky

found Ovidiu on the way

did I saw powder, in May?

Yes!

we rode to Killbrew gates (all closed)

Nevada side only had Dipper running but that was good enough

plenty of snow still, signs are still buried

Had a bit of a view from time to time:

so much snow to be enjoyed

Arturo and I went to check out the beach, which I seldom get to see :)

Day #2, we went back to Heavenly but it was a bit icy in the morning, until more snow came, and the resort got closed for lightening:

vis went downhill quickly

there was still decent snow

I took roundabout to the bottom:

the bottom forest snow was warmer

it did start snowing hard

Day #3, we went to Kirkwood when it just re-opened that day (friday). Thankfully the recent snow didn't melt and freeze, so the conditions were awesome:

one thing that sucks about kirkwood is that they are now down to one charger left (from 10)

woot!
