| Catamount Ski Area - 12/20/2005 Date(s) Skied: Tuesday, 12/20/2005 - 9:20 am - 1:40 pm Resort or Ski Area: Catamount Ski Area, South Egremont, Massachusetts Conditions: Machine groomed packed snow, death cookies, hardpack on ungroomed areas; Sunny, Cold in the high teens to lower 20's; light winds Trip Report: Met up with ALLSKIING at Catamount today. The skiing was pretty good with a fast groomed surface on most trails. Skier's right of Upper and Lower Glade were a hard and unforgiving mix of hard pack and bumps which softened a bit as the day wore on. I arrived a bit ahead of Dave and got two runs in before he arrived. We then skied mostly off the Ridge Double with one quick jaunt over to the new Triple. The terrain over there is a bit limited and not very challenging so we only rode that lift twice. We spent most of our time doing laps on Glade. There were actually some ungroomed areas, with hard and erratic bumps, but fun nonetheless. I skied until about 1:40 and Dave decided to stay a bit longer. I'd imagine he's on his way back to catch the Ferry out of Bridgeport as we speak. Another great early season day. Catapult (the mountain's steep) and the Off Stage mogul field were both closed but we had fun nonetheless. The surface was fast, but edgeable and it softened up a bit. Not a single wait for a chair. After 1 pm, the light really started to flatten as the lazy December sun made its way back to the horizon. Dave was great company and fun to ski with. The only problem was, due to our great conversations, the lift rides and therefore the day, flew by too fast. Thanks for coming up, Dave! I'll post some pics and videos later. |

| This midweek thing is staring to sound like fun. Glad you guys had the run of the place. I was at Pats for a race meeting. I brought my gear, but no lifts running. I tried.

| I thought it was dark TB. They were making snow so a few lights were on. The bar was small, but very nice. The ride was longer than I thought, I'm taking 89 next time. Rt114 at Rush hour well rush 2hrs was murder. Jk TB should be fun.
