notes:	A surprisingly sweet day. Got there LATE... like 1:00. Was laying around the house all unproductive and schwagged out and just decided to head to the mountain. It was sweet. There was pretty good corn all around... it was probably in the low 40s with very little clouds. Skied the Notch (?) in GS Bowl for my first run down thru Chig. It was pretty good: soft snow, a little variable with speed. Then went up to Headwall and did a sweet Sun Bowl. Then Hogsback to High Camp Chair up to Brokey. Brokey was the bomb. Did it twice on the Tower 16 side. There were mini bumps with good spacing and a couple inches of slushy fresh. Perfect for speed control and exaggerated turns and a nice long run. This was the best run of the day. At the end of the day got into some KT laps. Switched off between Rock Garden and West Face. Rock Garden was full on corn (already getting thin) and West Face was chalk. Tomorrow should have some sweet corn.
