Arrived at 11 thinking the place would be dead. WRONG. Lot 1 full and gate closed. Booooo...we had to ride the shuttle.

Bright sunshine, low 30s, no wind.
The reported 4" Saturday made all the diff. The combination of sun, fresh snow, and skier traffic meant all trails were skiing nicely with a few icy spots.

My buddy's wife decided to demo and tried 5 pairs of skis in 5 hrs of skiing. A great day. Forbidden places still ski nicely.

Run of the day? Smith to Mass Ave uphill to a short tree run out to top of Vickery Bowl lift...to Vickery liftline back to lower Smith. Smith was in tough shape but extreme skiers right had plenty of LSGR.

Lookit me poaching part of pine hill trail. Hike to summit to pine hill to ropers road weeee....

Also
I was on my old Prophet 90s. They seem to like speed more than the redesigned ones. They def feel plankier if that's a word but within a run or two they felt just fine.

That short tree run is known as Hole in the wall!! I was running that with the kids to carve up piece of cake, the kids thought they were all that!!
