Saturday was excellent - nice soft almost spring like snow with some small bumps forming (some short linked bump skiing) on the ungroomed hill.
Monday was decent - about the same amount of natural snow on the ground (they got a couple of inches after the rain) but the surface was much harder. Still carvable as their grooming is excellent. Everything open was groomed that day.
Don't know what their base will be like after all this rain. They had a decent amount of man made snow but not even close to the amount that Huntah had.

not there recently, but used to work at another mountain in the region. Those mountains don't hold snow very well in bad weather. Definately check the conditions.
Double check at montage, whitetail, jack frost,greek and labrador too just to compare (just in case they are eggagerating)

Thursday (12/29) was extremely rainy and foggy, with a fast, smooth surface (and no crowds, of course). It unexpectedly froze Thurs. night leading to Friday's very firm but not too icy surface. On Saturday (12/31) it began to snow in the PM. It snowed again on Sunday and Monday. Total accum. over the holiday weekend was 9-12 inches! Given the forecast (which called for nothing but rain/drizzle/mid-30s), this was pretty serendipitous.
Don't forget Winter Fest (free demos and cheap tix) is this Friday, January 6
