Who would have guessed the biggest powder day was the last day of the season (for many resorts)... Let's hear it guys, where did you find the goods today?

I had to work at Eldora and we received well over 12", freshies all day and there were leftovers in the trees when we shut the lifts down for the season. :(

it snowed 6 inches at my home hill, and it "blizzarded" then hailed today, possibly last day at that place.

Couldn't stop skiing today. Skied from 9-4:30 and only stopped for water once. Found powder all 7.5 hours. Got some of the first tracks on E Chair, Imperial Lift, and hiking Peak 7 too.

Side note: Three People fell off the Chair 6 lift today at Breck (no more than 5 feet into powder). They all got booed by the 50-60 people (probably more) behind them in line who had been waiting for the chair to open for an hour.

It's employee day tomorrow, so I probably wait a few days after to start skinning. As long as you go early, it's not really a problem at most resorts.
