Conditions: Few inches on top of compressed FGR. Need good edges. Should have tuned up my gear first. Damn leaves....
Steve was there early - he can provide color. I didn't show until 1030.
Late start, parking lot full, tram base not operational. Had most trails open. Good 1st day, Blues scraped off by 11am. Blacks stayed pretty good, but as you got lower, there were a lot of water bridges you have to hop (er, leap) over. Solid icepack underneath, good foundation for the snows yet to come. Here are some pics, I'm pretty beat, long weekend. Taken from my cam phone.
First pics are on the way up there. Fiirst is passing the front of Cannon - looks pretty sad right now.
On I91
Here is Jay:
Gosh it gets dark early:
Lots of folks went into the woods. that's ice on those pretzels. I'd say there was a good 1/4 inch on the trees.
By the way, for those asking about Whaleback. They had several snowmaking whales and hoses setup in trail. It looks like they are making an attempt, but there was no snow blowing when I drove by at 10am. I think the temps were getting too hot.
