Share 'The Desert sucks! What's the Mountain like?'

So I'm on deployment right now in the desert... lame, I know. I haven't even been able to ride at all this season and it looks like I won't be able to until next season starts. Anyway what were the conditions like so far? Powder days, slush, crap, ect. What was the perfect day for you so far? Also any good spots for next season when I get back to the states? By the way... I heard you can ride on…
