Today was fun, but it was Cascades Cement. I'm beat with all the slush. 15 minute waits on the lifts = crowded, but you didn't see it on the slopes. I fell more today in than I have in all my skiing in the past two years. I had a good time.

I hear you. I only had time for two runs down International this morning and both runs made my legs scream.
