Jacquie and I had fresh tracks on Prima Friday afternoon.  Chair 11 opened with Riva Ridge, Prima, Pronto, Northstar, Northwoods, South rim, North rim and Gandy Dancer (watch for the rollers).  Its fast and fun right now.  Vail only recorded 2″ from the storm last night but over cast skies and flurries are looking promising today.  I will be headed out this afternoon for some turns with our guest if anyone is on the hill and wants to join me.  I suggest a ski with some width.  Have fun and enjoy the GREAT snow!
