More el nino here. Not the best but it has managed to produce some
decent skiing in the mtns. Skied two days agoand the snow as not bad.
Springlike in the afternoon on the bootom but the higer N and E facing
stayed pretty good. Very skiable. Better tahn working anyway.

The telemark free ski contest qualifier was today on the Keyhole slopes
here at Alpine Meadows. The guys (and gals) seem to have notched it down
a bit from previous years, but I suspect the old compacted snow has a
bit to do with the conservatism apparent. In the few runs I watched they
were most interested in actually making it down in one piece rather than
hucking off the rocks.

Some snow potential tonight - if it arrives it may help the contest some.

Forecast to snow for the next week but no dump, more of a snow drizzle.
All last week it was spring skiing - old crust warming to mashed
potatoes for some nice off piste action. If the snow arrives it's a
restart on winter.
