I hit days 7 and 8 this past weekend, after a fantastic snow storm dumped right on our weekend destination of Davis, WV. We skied Canaan Valley on Saturday, which was fantastic - everything was fantastic, most runs were open, and I had so much fun in the soft powder in the trees.
Sunday we went to Timberline, which had chosen to groom all their runs. I did get brave enough to ski their double diamonds, which was not my favorite - they were steep with big bumps. I will ski either steeps or bumps, but when you put them together, I forget every technique I've ever learned and lose all my confidence. Anyhow, I did those runs one scary turn at a time, but I got myself down eventually (all the while other skiers blasted past me out of control, including one who skied OVER THE BACK OF MY SKIS, then crashed another 3 bumps down the hill. WTF). So while I have my own confidence issues to work on, it amazes me to see other people go down with less skills and more confidence than me. I need to channel the attitude of a man and just do it, lol.
We were going to ski CV again on Monday, but looked at the temperature and called it. Early morning temps were recorded at an actual -19* that morning! We skied on Saturday at an actual 7*/-15 with windchill, and that was plenty cold enough for us.
