Open top to bottom on the River Run side with 1 or 2 more runs open than usual, pretty good snow and coverage for Sun Valley Thanksgiving.

Not a great day, though. Nice weather, but pretty crowded both on slopes and lift lines. Managed to make it to the mountain without my goggles (found them when I got got home), and then fell just after getting off the chair at the top. My legs were telling me they are 75 years old, also. Bailed after three or four runs. When I left, the line to buy tickets extended halfway across the bridge to the parking lot.

I have always said it doesn't start getting good until the week after Thanksgiving.

Update:

Has snowed quite a bit lately, the bowls opened, and Seattle Ridge opened today.

Was cold today, low about zero F and high about 15.
