Corn report: We had it perfect but had to be there early. Snow surface is dirty, melting fast and not getting a hard surface freeze at night. Probably time to start doing most or our skiing near or above timberline (top of Marble is at timberline).

    OT- question, how did you guys tune the FR10′s? I’m actually not very fond of my pair, and wondering about beveling the edges to try get the skis to my liking. Can’t find a good shop around the boulder area that seem to know what there talking about… Thanks
