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.

long line for the reut since everything else was closed
it was deceiving, it looked good, but really wasn't
fresh tracks, and all, but it was so hard, no tracks left behind
