Johannes, Arturo and I wento to Kirkwood with the hope of enjoying a nice 18 inches of fresh pow. It did fall, but sadly virtually all of it iced up top to bottom :(
We left at 05:15, arrived by 08:40 as no lifts were running on the front side, so we actually had to walk to chair 7, the only one running at that time. By 10:00 or so, the Reut finally opened, and if you left the groomers at any time, you were in trouble.
By 11:10, Chair 6 opened finally, and the very top was ok-ish for a few turns, and then again ice.
Darn, this should have been so much fun, but it wasn't. We actually left by 12:10 and went to see a cave on the side of 88 on the way back.
