I'll take your place.

^I'll be missing you by a day Jim... I should be there Saturday (and if not there then Mt. Snow). Maybe this storm will suddenly dump 2 feet and Ovation will be open by then. That would be nice.

Now looking like Sunday instead. Bring the whole family up on Saturday night and stay over.

Good conditions off the superstar quad. The headwall is like mashed potatoes. Stll tons of snow with no thin spots.

From the pics I've been seeing. (Not getting up there for another week or two), it looks like the new stuff is in great shape, but Snowdon/K-peak seems to be getting a bit thin in spots. (MTS, Upper Double Dipper, Mouse Trap especially).

From skiingsnow at K-zone:

Mouse Trap


Bittersweet


If they resurface a bit, they'll be in good shape this weekend.
