Spent the weekend at Cannon. It was better than I expected, but the upper mountain especially got icy by Saturday afternoon and wasn't any better on Sunday morning. My 4-year-old did his first tram ride, so that was fun...one or two a season is good for me ;-).

Got a bit skunked on my PacNW trip. Big 3 foot storm Thursday>Friday turned out to be a 12 inches>rain event. Stevens was the heaviest snow I ever skied. Then crystal was three days of 40 degrees+ and sunny. Spring skiing in January. Skiing with friends is fun so we still had fun. Seattle and surrounding environs are beautiful.

What a trip to Big Sky! Friday 1/19 they predicted 3-5" of snow, but got 5-6" overnight and it snowed 4-6" throughout the day. Monday 1/22 they predicted 1-2" and got 4-6" throughout the day. Overall, conditions were fantastic. Everything was open and in play, the trees were fantastic. Made it up to the Tram this trip... damn that terrain is gnarly, but awesome. The days it didn't snow were nice bluebird days, but cold.

On Sunday 1/22 I hit 40 K Vertical ft and 44 miles of riding, 40 K was a personal goal of mine.

Day 21 today at Wachusett. Full main parking lot, and lift lines on a weekday. Skied off by 10. 3 trails from the top, with one closed for racing. I don't know how anyone could ever ski here on a weekend....

Ski Bretton Woods on Saturday, figuring if it was icy everywhere, it'd be the best ice there. Decent conditions in the morning, but by 1pm it was icy everywhere. Skied until 3pm, but it stopped being much fun after lunch. Bagged on Sunday since the conditions were crummy...good thing too as we would have gone to Cannon and it looks like they had lift issues in the morning.

Big props to Windham's snowmaking and grooming team for having 95% open terrain with decent surface conditions, while there is literally zero snow in the woods or anywhere they haven't made snow. 40 degrees and sunny made for a very enjoyable day of skiing, even if it was just catskiill groomers. fun on the trail edges.
