Frozen granular conditions perfect weather at 36 with limited cloud cover and very little wind. Big chunks of frozen and oval balls of ice on hard pack base. Wh not best of day. Upper wolverine and upper wheelchair icy but skiable. About to ski Wedel and then Wide Connection before finishing day by the wall...

Thanks for the update. Was going to go to Windham on Saturday but went to Blue instead. Windham is a better mountain, but also an extra hour each way from my house. Blue had frozen granular, but not the big ice cubes.

Totally agree about the crowds...this is probably a gross generalization, but I find that there are more beginners crowding the slopes in the Poconos than in the Catskills.
