The snow was actually better than I anticipated. The wind was light out of the southwest. It was blowing 6-12 at the parking lot. I have noticed that there is a big wind shadow when between the parking lot and the riding area. I skied over on the cat track to avoid the wind shadow and even after hiking quite a ways, the wind was still very light. I had a difficult time even launching my Silver Arrow. However, once I was over on the riding hill, I had plenty of power and even had enough to do some small gravity jumps. I did discover that the Silver Arrow is an awesome light wind weapon.
