Worst season weather-wise since I started the sport. Still getting out though...thanks to snowmaking and grooming.

Certainly hasn't been great or even average just yet. But I look at the season as having 2.5 solid months of nearly all mtns open at. The late April can provide some really nice turns as well if you are willing to be flxible on location and drive a bit.

It will get better though and when it does you are going to want to be around for it!

I've had a great season. 26 days or so...all type of conditions, I have not left the hill disappointed once. It's all what you make of it. I seek out snowmaking trails, live on the side of trails or lap one perfect trail all day.

Warmer weather heading our way in VT. Don't you just love spring skiing all season long?

 

[ScottySkis]

C not the best but at least not been a lot of rai* events one great first day at Plattekill last weekend i'm glad i waited for a nice day like it was

Cold is coming soon i promise

06-07 was way worse. It was consistently warm. Places only had a few trails open until the cold came in late Jan.. Then it turned on in Feb. with storms.

Adequate

Trying to be optimistic considering that we have some snow here in Utah and have had some decent skiing by East Coast standards. Thank God we are not in Tahoe. I can't complain...15 days so far is good considering new job, new baby, and lack of snow. More to come!

This. Snow conditions are what you make of them.

I've had a blast so far with 11 days in which is kind of low for me though I'm looking forward to some good days in the woods soon!

 

[2knees]

not much for me but my kids and I have had a blast this year so that is a huge plus. I basically have one day this year, the rest have been with the kids.

going to NH this weekend to ski loon and cannon, then back in two weeks for cannon and maybe wildcat or something. Other then that, just waiting for an excuse to be sick......

 

[Riverskier]

Great season so far! 16 days on the hill, and skiing every week since October. Lots of groomers, but the conditions overall have been great, as Sunday River does an incredible job with snomaking and grooming. Unlike some here, luckily I truly enjoy groomers. Some bumps and trees too, lots of chasing the guns. A decent base on the naturals now too, so it is pretty much game on with every storm going forward. I will change my tone, at least slightly, if we don't have at least average snowfall for the rest of the Winter, but so far no complaints at all.

 

[Tooth]

C-. I know it will get better though. I usually have about 50-55 days at this point. This year I'm at 38. Most have been pretty rough.

 

[4aprice]

I would give it a C, but a huge letdown after last season. Days are down a little bit but the home mountain has gotten to 100% open. (although no bumps yet) Christmas was better then 2006 but not by much. But like a midterm grade in school there is still plenty of time to make it up and the 2nd half is when I get the most skiing in anyways. Hopefully spring will be king this year

Surprised. Yeah, there hasn't been a lot of snow, but the mountain has held up very well despite. Plus, the snowmakers and groomers have been working their butts' off. Sunday, we had an awesome time at the mountain; the conditions were just about perfect.

 

[wa-loaf]

Incomplete, need to do some make-up work and cramming to pull out a passing grade.

Give us a shout. Cannonball is usually up every weekend day and I make at least one. We have cold ones in the trucks. I will be skiing Friday and maybe Sunday morning at Cannon.

Was hoping to get up there by now. Looks like it will be March time frame. We still have our deal?
