I was at Vail on Friday. Their 1 inch of reported fresh was actually 6-8 inches of fresh at Mid Vail. The runs off of Chair 4 had great coverage (mostly natural as noted upthread) and a lot of light, blower powder on top. Didn't hit any rocks, even on a pair of narrow-waisted (65.5mm) skis, had a great time - as did my athletes, we opted to enjoy the powder opportunity rather than do drills all day. Also: longest line was maybe 3 minutes, tops.
Yesterday at Breck was decent. Coverage there isn't as good on the non-snowmaking trails but it's not terrible, either. Plenty of acreage open though snowmaking only on greens and blues. Longest lift queue was 4 minutes not counting the opening bell scrum to get people out of the base area.
