Comments: On the hill at 9:00, skied till 12:00; Skied alone; All the new snow helped the mountain alot, things look real good; Another really nice day; First run on Upper Bunny Buster revealed a really wierd snow condition. Overnight the wind was blowing directly down the slope, this produced a continuous series of snow waves. Each wave was a ridge of new snow blown into a long ridge all the way across the hill. Each wave was then followed by 25-30 feet of wind blown corduroy frozen solid. Interesting, but not what I was expecting on a pow day. TOD: Snowshed, deep snow on skier's right. That down-slope wind on Bunny was blowing direct across Snowshed depositing all the snow on the leaward side of the snow making ridge down the middle
