Vail Late March

I will be at Vail late March. I expect Spring conditions. Ice in the
morning, slush in the afternoon. It seems to me there must be a skiing
pattern that reduces this, like skiing in the sun in the morning and moving
to areas that are less sunny in the afternoon. I don't recall where the sun
is and how the various mountain faces face. Anyone have any relevant
advice?

Google Earth

I had thought of that but I was hoping someone with skiing experience at
Vail might have specific hints.

The back bowls face south and the front of the mountain faces north -
what else do you need to know?

Watch out for Google Earth - the new version is going to modify your
computer without asking you; it has functionality to do unapproved
automatic updates, and not just of Google software - who knows what else
they diddle with once they have access. Not a good thing at all.

I thought they had removed this feature, but just yesterday noticed it's
still part of the download package.

Duh! The conditions will be perfect. I don't know what you're used
to. You don't know where the sun is? Get a clue.

Advice? Don't go to france, and don't drop your rum flask.

And vote for Sarah Palin in 2012.

A web site said to get the latest version of Google Earth; so I
downloaded it. The installer said the automatic upgrade software would
also install. I remember reading about this awhile ago, but assumed
Google would want to protect their rep and would have withdrawn the
"feature." I was wrong. I quit the installer and tossed the download.
