Report on Sunshine by Nomad, posted Friday May 2nd 2008
May 2. Clear blue skies and a slightly chilly wind, which may have contributed to the surprisingly long lasting super hard pack conditions in most places, except down low. Base everywhere is holding up extremely well - virtually no rocks showing through yet. Ski out was, however, a slush fest, but still navigable. Great day to be out - smiles everywhere!

Message from Powderwatch Facebook group - Thanks again Ryan!
Subject: 70+cm in 24hrs !!!
"Not even joking. Sunshine received 50cm between 5:30am-2:30pm and are calling for another 20-30cm tonight. 70+ cm in 24hrs? HELL YA!
Scroll down to THE WALL on the group page and read a couple of rave user reports. Best day of the year(s)"

You've probably heard it all by now, but it is amazing up at sunshine, however most of the powder is tracked out, but the snow is still great. Goats Eye: the farside chutes were closed all day (at least unil about 2 when i last rode there) and snow was great anywhere you could get, hells kitchen was especially great. Standish: doing good, garbage chutes in not bad shape, still quite hard to navigate but the landings are really soft which is good. donkey tail, the virgin, big bunkers were all pretty icey from previous melts and the new snow had been quite skied off. tee-pee town is in great condition, great coverage and still pockets of untouched snow left at the end of the day. I didn't ski any other faces, sorry if i didn't cover the places you ski, but i think you'll be able to understand what its all like up there. Get out and make tracks if you can
