What can anyone ask for in the ultimate ski experience: plenty of vertical long ski runs, champagne powder, blue bird skies. How about white out conditions, 14 inches of new snow, 10-15 degrees of powder flying as you access any of the following: China Bowl, Blue Sky Basin, Big Burn, Spaulding Bowl, Mushroom Patch on a powder day. Glad goggles are a must. That makes for a perfect day!
