I honestly enjoyed a light to moderate wet, pasty snow that didn't screw me more than the I did the blizzard. 100% truthful.
12" of sand with fairly meager rates most of the day, while everyone around me gets 24-30"...compared to a quick 4.5" of scenic paste, while most other spots got 2" on the grass.
Honest to god truth, give me the latter...unless I am going for a seasonal record or something like that.
