Saturday after Christmas

[Cornhead]

Sticking with my home hill, Greek Peak. Scotty and JimG will be at Elk. Scotty asked me to join them, and I'm sure they'll have more open at Elk than Greek, but since I have a season's pass at Greek, it'll be "free". We're all hooking up at Hunter New Year's Day, along with Spring Mountain High, and Crex. Better to spend my ski dollars then, me thinks, snowstorm for next weekend? Wednesday night would be perfect. Looked, and felt, more like Easter than Christmas today. Corn harvest tomorrow.

We were at Bretton Woods on Christmas and the base held up well. Ungroomed was soft and heavy. Any natural terrain took a beating. Driving by Cannon - the front trails, Mittersill and Cannonball got whacked. Anything with snowmaking survived but will probably be boiler plate after tonight.

I was there as well. I bet its a block of ice tomorrow.

Anyone ski gunstock today. Heading there tomorrow free ticks good time to use them up I assume.

Natural base is smoked. Groomers will be okay in the AM because they will groom it well. Get at it early before it gets ripped up.

Skiing Pico now on sugar snow. Not bad actually. Natural trails got smoked

 

[rocks860]

Just got to sugarbush, way less crowded than I was expecting

 

[rocks860]

Snow is also better than I expected. Sleeper is mogul city but the snow on ripcord wasn't bad and jester was nice and buttery. Gonna head over to mt Ellen now and check it out

Read in their conditions report they groomed summit glades. I've never heard of them doing that before. I didn't even think they could fit a groomer in there.

The groomers at the Cat are great today. Better than Bretton Woods at this point yesterday.

If I were skiing this weekend, I'd head someplace with a southern exposure.

Well there's only one in vermont...

And what would that be?

Bromley

Don't forget Spruce Peak at Stowe.

Mountain Ellen is hurting bad. Oh and right as I went to get on north ridge it stopped. I took like 3 runs and it still hasn't started yet

 

[drjeff]

Moderate crowds today at Mount Snow - Bluebird never really had more than a 5-8 minute wait, Grand Summit was mostly a 5 to 10 chair wait, Canyon and Nitro had 3 to 5 minute waits - empty on the North face + Sunbrook - trail volume seamed congested due to limited acreage - can't wait for snowmaking to resume in about 24hrs!!!!

 

[rocks860]

Literally every trail is bumped up now, I gotta call it a day

 

[Cornhead]

Greek Peak was good, just not much open, hero snow groomers in the AM, corn snow in the PM with a few icy and bare spots here and there. Sunny and 50° in the afternoon.

 

[Warp Daddy]

Titus had about 1/3 of the mtn open .Hero snow early , then got cut into chowdah, heavy stuff . Skied with my family posse till 215 , 22 runs called ita day

 

[Cannonball]

Today, like yesterday, was not bad at all. I've seen a hell of a lot worse at this time of year, and I can think of much worse ways to spend a day. Dang it I just love to snowboard!

Word is that Attitash and Bretton Woods were train wrecks today. This validates my decision to go to Wildcat.
