notes:	The second straight day that I was drastically unprepared for the conditions. It was pretty cold today... especially with the east wind blowing. Most everything that was kinda soft got pretty firm. Did find good turns in Enchanted and on Hogsback. Although there were people lapping KT I didn't look into it much with my untuned Explosives. Did find enjoyable turns in Enchanted which I did about a half dozen of. Skied Tower 16 at about noon and it was horacious!!!! Complete death cookies the whole way down. No corn was gonna form today... just too cold. Made a random trip to Granite... figured there might be some snow from yesterday and some shelter from the East Wind. Good thing I went out there since I had my GPS with me.... kept track of everywhere I went which is cool. Granite was the usual garbage and I left after 2 laps. Finished the day lapping Enchanted til my legs and butt were sore. Left before 4:00.... I'll have to stop doing that. Should be easy with the corn ahead.
