Session 1 of the 2016/2017 winter season: Opening day in SE Michigan - Mt Holly makes enough snow to make it happen

Broadcasted a text message that Mt Holly was opening at 3:00 pm. Only Jerry responded so we met up at Mt Holly for a decent opening day. Found conditions from hard pack and ice to some softer conditions as the hill got skied out.
I always get so stoked for the first day out, which is usually at Mt Holly this time of the year.
Then after a few runs the excitement tapers off. So it was fun meeting up with Jerry - he kept the stoke going and kept it entertaining.
