Date(s) Skied: February 14th, 2008
Resort or Ski Area: Shawnee Peak
Conditions: LG, some PP and Hard Pack
Trip Report: Took the day off from work to watch son #1 participate in the Maine State Junior Ski Club Championships and get a few turns in. Weather was great. Upper 20's, Lower 30's, light winds and beautiful sunshine.
You had to stick the groomers. Shawnee got hit hard with freezing niar after some major snow dumpage, but hats off to the groomers for chewing it up and making some very skiable terrain today. Things were firm, but as long as your edges were in good shape you were fine. Unfortunately, all that deep powder in the ungroomed was under about 3/4" of ice. Too Bad - as they have some major snow depths that could not be skied!
But overall a fun ski day and a good time watching 200 middle schoolers bomb down the mountain.
