Bretton woods April 22nd & 23rd
Conditions. Soft Corn snow
Temps on sat. Low to Mid 40's sunny Sunday High 30's and cloudy to rain aroun 10.30
My son and I arrived on sat about 8 am booted up and off we went. The Main quad and upper Quad were open. We headed straight to the top and before we had a run in we met Terry. We took a few runs down Swoop and under the quad. coverage was nice, but very few trails open. We got to do Bode's run.....with a bit of walking. Fun for my son to do. We did laps until around 10.30 and met up with Thaller1 and Whaller1. Thaller1 posts here a bit, but a friend from the Sr board. We did a few laps with them and the snow stayed soft and stayed great. We has a great time hanging. We opted for a cold tailgate instead of grilling so we could ski more. After a quick lunch we headed back out. My son adopted Walter and Terry as his own...Last weekend it was Ga2ski and TB.
We called it quits a little after 2 and all hung out and contemplated the season. Terry showed us some recent baby pictures. Very Cool.
I was really impressed how good the snow was. I was glad to see they cared about their patrons and stayed open as the crowds have faded. Never a lift line. Seemd like many took advantage of the $20 dollar ticket with a pass from another resort. I saw some Threedom and ASC passes out there. I love marketing.
Another highlight was a saw a huge moose in a bog just before the mountain. Should have had a camera...... on to sunday
Sunday I slept in to see if the rain was coming. Around 8.30 it had not come so out I went. I arrived around 9.30 and found the snow better than Sat and skied fresh groomed snow until I left. Around 10.30 it started to rain a bit. I gave it another hour and brought my gear in. As soon as I did it got wetter. Again high praise Bretton Woods for keeping it going. I had a blast. Again I needed a camera. A small moose(funny to say that) decided to try the snow as well. Around tower 6 he decided to check out the terrain. He seemed satisfied and headed back up the trail and bound into the woods. The other 8 or 9 people there were all watching.
The snow should hold up through next weekend. The mountain opps have stockpiled some snow on the sides where it looked like the thin areas would develope.
Terry and Thallerr1 and Whaller1 I'm glad we got out for a last group outing. My son loved hanging with you guys. I plan on going one more weekend. Then who knows.
Ow by the way I made the picutre of the day. Thats me on Sunday on the web cam. www.brettonwoods.com/alpineski/index.cfm?edit_ID=56
