	Comments	Uphill race in the morning meant great parking since a lot of people were leaving in the am. Ski East overtook the lodge again for most of the day, but otherwise there was not a huge crowd. As expected most trails get skied off as the days go, but the sides of the trails skied well all day. Anyone marking the hill @ 50% is really stretching it - at best its 35% based on trail count, but when you account for a few trails with sides with thin cover and/or closed off combined with multiple closures for races and race training its really skiing much less than that. Call it what it is - there's hardly any natural to cover the hill, and the lack of water has really significantly impacted their ability to get more trails open. I am a HUGE RAGGED FAN but 35% is the best you can calculate with 21 out of 57 possible trails and glades open.
