First time ever visiting Crotched mountain, a nice little hill in southern NH. Only an hour from my parents house, and some of the cheapest holiday week tickets around, my brother and I decided to check it out.
All trails were open, and most ski'd very nice... They did a nice job grooming and making snow, and had pretty great coverage all around. The glades and some of the natural terrain could still use some more snow, but it was ski'able....
Lines? Was this holiday week? The lodge was busy, every table full over lunch... but the mountain handled the crowds well and the most I waited was about 5-6 chairs deep. Got in about 15 runs before calling it quits around 2.
Verdict? Great lil local hill, family mountain, and place to go on a holiday week. If you consider yourself and expert/advanced ski'r, you'd probably be bored here quick without the glades opening up of finding some backcountry lines (they do have some hikable terrain - and looking at wikipedia, a sister area which has been Nelsap'd) Great place to bring your friend who is just learning, or get some skiing in instead of waiting in holiday lines...
Oh, they do night skiing too!
