I will be there, looking forward to hitting the trails one last time. What are your planned arrival times? I'm thinking around 9:30 for me.

I'm looking to get there around 9 or 9:30. Will be in a group of three, so if anybody is flying solo, or in a group with an odd number and wants to meet up for the 2-for, PM me.

2-fer? Do they still honor that at the $29 ticket level? That would be quite a steal at $14.5 each. Might be worth dragging my tired butt up early...

I'm flying solo, not sure I'll be able to make 9:30 though. Right now only aiming for ~<10 (hopefully before)

Yeah, I'm an idiot. I thought they were doing 2-for $72 for the rest of the season.

See everyone up there.

I guess sometimes when a trail is closed, it's closed for a reason.

you could have gone a little to your right, would have been fine to ski out.

Guess we missed you today....Front 5 skied like spring, top skied like mid winter...closed trails...well you summed that up pretty well :)

What a great day!! BIG thanks to Puck it and JDMRoma for allowing me to tag along with them today, and for the Tuckermans Ale before I went back up for a couple of last runs. Believe it or not, riding up the Cannonball quad at 3:50 was a very cold ride with the strong winds, not quite what I was expecting on April 18th!
I wasn't really keeping track, but I believe that we hit every open trail with the exception of Tramway (upper Cannon was just too much fun!). Puck it is a great tour guide! The upper 2/3 of the mountain has very good cover, with only a few thin spots on the run outs near the bottom. As JDMRoma said, the frontside trails softened up nicely, while the top half of the mountain skied more like early March. Here are a few pics:
