Really threw it down with rain, sleet and hail yesterday - skied in the morning and the top was pretty reasonable, went to Markonys for a while - still the same weather - got to about 2.30 and 4 of us (Mrs IMT included) decided we needed to get one last run in - horrible on the lift, but really very surprisingly good skiing - all that hail seemed to help - red run going to the easy green was great to ski on, green to mid station was OKish, a little ...
P.S - Snow conditions-------------

One of Mrs IMT's favorite runs of the week - think because it was so quiet up there - just us crazy English people.............
Does need to cool down though - temps well above freezing, though some people say it will cool down tomorrow or Monday, who the hell knows.....
IMT,
Good to hear you had a good week,
Are conditions bad for first timers?
Numerous reports being posted that conditions are really bad,
Am going to Pamps tommorrow with three new skiiers, hope conditions dont spoil there first time,
Really needs more snow if I'm honest - although at the top was reasonably good yesterday and I believe they can take the beginners up there if need be. When we left this morning the sun was shining and people were expecting colder weather - fingers crossed for everyone............. It will take some serious bad luck to lose all the snow, but the bottom section is really the worst affected.
I'll be back here tomorrow when I've had some sleep - I know you will have gone, so ...

I'll be back here tomorrow when I've had some sleep - I know you will have gone, so enjoy yourself and pray for it to cool down just a little - you will love it.

Glad you and Mrs IMT had a great time....
