    Loon 2/2/20

    Overcast skies greeted us for first chair. As did a fuller than usual weekday parking lot, on Superbowl Monday. First runs down the bosses, we're mostly well groomed. Other sections, probably groomed prior to the game, had frozen over a bit from the light snow over night. Gondola had a short...

    Mt Snow 3/19 & 20

    Two great days. Excellent coverage. Tad windy Monday. With most lifts closed, it was 5 mins to load the bubble. At a minimum. As I was staying on the property, I thought $86 for a half day was pricey. Given the few lifts open. But, great conditions.

    Loon 2-5 & 6

    Busiest day after Superbowl I have seen in past 10 years. Monday 2-5 A lot must have come due to the 8" of new overnight. Not much grooming, which is par for the overnight following Patriots in the big game. Top to bottom, and all in between, everybody smiling. Great conditions. But, a...

    First chairs were standard groomed. Warmed quickly and wind picked up. Top layer turned spring like. Plenty of cover. In fact, later in day, grass was peaking thru on the golf course.

    2-4-13 Loon Mountain, Lincoln, NH Since loss of last week, they have blown a ton of snow. In fact, more than they have had the chance to groom. As I am not a fan of blown snow that has not been groomed, please understand that perspective. As an older guy with some knee damage, who once...

    Ragged This Sunday Feb 6th

    Any thoughts on how crowded Ragged will be on Sunday ? How tough is it to get the NH Resident $29 Sunday deal ? Need a drivers license for each person, or can one person with a "fuzzzy" resident proof buy multiple tickets ? I also saw a few Liftopia deals, but I think they are sold out now.
