Just got back from Mount Snow. I'll have some pics and report in the morning. Bear Trap is just ok, maybe you can wear it in tomorrow. If you want bumps try Ledge off the face, and when I Ieft, Challenger, Jaws, PDF, and Olympic had major bumpage over on TNF. Head to the NF first, then check out Bear Trap later.......
all the woods are skiing pretty good for those safety breaks....................
Never saw any seeded bumps??????

nice looking forward to your pics and steves report.

all kidding aside, i dont really care about seeded bumps. sundown does it cause they have to. outside of that, its just not necessary.

The seeded bumps were "hiding" under the fluff on Middle Exhibition. Not the greatest seeding job ever, but between the natural and some traffic, they're starting to get worked in and making a decent, low angle, widely spaced bump run.

Agreed with Beartrap, it was much better as a powder run than a bump run Sunday.

Actually there's a misprint on the blackout passes. MLK day wasn't blacked out, just the Sat/Sun.


LOL! Even if that was the case, my wife had to work Monday. I got to play with the snowblower though! :cool:

Snowblowing does sound like a fun alternative.

I just wonder how many people didn't ski that day thinking their pass was blacked out. Would have been nice if Mount Snow sent out an email (and maybe a snail mail) alerting people about their typo. I bet a few people even bought unneccessary tickets.

I thought you were joking! They really goofed on the passes?

Nope, no joke. I asked about it on the mountsnow forum....

http://mountsnow.ning.com/forum/topics/1692370:Topic:12478

Not sure who can see that, but the reply when I asked about the type was...

"Jay, good catch. Classic and midweek passes are NOT blacked out on the 19th. We'll make the adjustments."

Now I remember that thread! Now that you mention it, they probably should have sent something out via e-mail or posted on the forum over there.
