Elli and I decided to take our chances and head up to Steven's pass. Considering the amount of snow they have to work with, the groomers did a really good job of keeping the runs skiable, just don't go off the trail. Snow conditions varied from refrozen granular to spring mashed potatoes.
The kung powders completely rocked. They are damp, stable and just plow through anything. They also carve and hold an edge pretty well. The width and length requires a bit more work for short quick turns and moguls; I think a hair more sidecut would be perfect. These skis ski so well, I'm selling my commercial skis.
My delamination repair seemed to be holding up, only a couple of blisters in the topsheet.
It turned out to be a great day of spring skiing, too bad it is February.
