Copper conditions?

We're thinking of coming up to Summit for a day or two next mid-week -- what are the conditions like? Monarch has the melt-freeze cycle going, pretty harsh riding in the morning. Curious what Copper is like...

If anyone is interested in trying it, I'll have a PureBoarding #2 demo 164cm board.

Our annual MonoPalooza was at Copper last week. Thurs and Fri were COLD, snowy. Sat was clear and cold. Sun and Mon were 45 and clear. Supposed to get 3"-5" tonight. All in all I think it's going to be hardpack with alot of scraped/shiny snow.

Haven't been to Copper in a while, but we could clearly see the slopes at Copper today from where we were riding (way-out Mongolia Bowl) in Vail. The conditions should be similar.

Thaw-freeze has hit the lower slopes and south aspects higher up; north aspects are still dry powder on a windslab subsurface. Good pockets of pow on leeward aspects. South and east exposures warmed with the sun today, and started setting up around 4pm. Snow is forecast for the weekend.

Have fun wherever you end up.

Cheers,
