Things were really busy at BW on Saturday because they have $30 lift tickets for the rest of the season. But the lift lines were mysteriously short, the snow was soft, and the sun was shining. The tree skiing that's still open has spotty coverage, but they were running the T-bar and I rode that for the first time. Fun over there. On the other side of the mountain, Waumbek had really great snow for this time of year.
Cannon on Sunday was another matter. It was snowing hard for a short time in the morning, and pretty windy throughout the day, but not cold. The snow was wildly different from what was reported in the snow report, and we were were pretty pissed off about it -- it was rock hard at the top, and lots of trails had huge swaths of solid ice on them. It did soften up lower down on the mountain later in the day, but even at 2:00 the trails at the top were really hard. We had a good day, but man, talk about a misleading snow report!
Here's the email I sent to the mountain this morning, with the subject line "Funny April Fool's Joke." I think this about sums it up:
Your snow report yesterday was a hoot! Saying that it hadn't frozen overnight and that there was nice soft corduroy and corn snow was about as wildly off as calling Trump a thoughtful, articulate, erudite gentleman. My friend and I were really happy to pay $77 each to ski on such lovely soft corduroy.
April fools! Seriously, we would have been happier to pay $77 for whatever hallucinogenic drug the person who wrote your snow report was on.
