I talked to a patroller today on the lift. The snowmaking is 100% back on line and low temps over the next few days should see some serious snow making. They are opening trails at a good clip right...

They have 3 lifts and 20 trails open today. Not so bad given the weather, but they did miss an opportunity to blow snow earlier when it was colder. Should be getting colder come Friday, and they are...

More work on the covered carpet lifts. Skiing was fun today!...

Folks, work continues on the carpet lifts:...

Skied about 5 hours today, lessons from MASR, in the rain. We volunteer for our day, rain or shine, so are the lessons.

I did take a few pictures of the new carpet lifts going in:...

From their website:
With Mother Nature's help from last week, low temps, and a 10% increase in snowmaking capacity, the open terrain is growing by the day. Keep checking in on openings as we work...

About 1:30 in or so, you can hear about some beavers chewing thru some wires and torching the place, so they have to bring in new pumps.

Am I understanding this correctly, when you say the pumps burned down, that there was an actual fire at the pumphouse by their water source??? Or the pumps just burned out as in died? I'm gonna go to...

LOL!!! I'd never get too excited about Attitash, but the Bear Mountain side is good. Now, Wildcat, I can get excited about that!!!

Machski, I just looked at the map, and they are blowing on Broadway, Tourist Trap, Lazy River and Ski Back. That IS weak. What do you know about the water issue?

I'm not sure I would have done that. Tickets were $49.00 last weekend and I wasn't paying that even living as close as I was. 2 lifts, 8 trails. Before long, you'll be able to get 14 lifts, 135...

I read about this elsewhere. You may have seen that they are blowing snow on Kansas, totally removed from the Barker area. I think I have this understood correctly. What has happened is that they are...

Boyne pass, so Mostly the River, a trip or three to Loon and the loaf. A day or two at Bretton Woods, Mt Abrams, Black mt of Maine.

Maine Adaptive sports and recreation

Yes, that will happen, I think, after next season. MASR moving. Where, is still in question. I prefer to take my grandkids to Little white cap over the crowded learning area. But there are only fixed...

A little closer for the new beginner terrain....

I got a picture of what they had snow blowing on. A little too warm right now, but I'm sure they intend to blow more. ...

I did a little hiking today around little Whitecap, but also heard the snow guns, so after hiking I drove to where I could see the guns. They are blowing T-2 and Upper Punch right now. Weather is...

I gotta say, I hope you are right and I am wrong!

I would say there is no way that they are open top to bottom next weekend. I don't have a crystal ball in good working order, but I really doubt it. The snow they had blown onto Cascades amounted to...

I was doing a little work at a condo in Merrill Brook today and took a moment to look at Sundance. They have two gravel pads running a couple hundred feet, but not the third one yet. I also see some...

Drove over to the River today, while I was there, I checked out the new carpet lift area. The gravel pads appear to be done, just awaiting the carpet lifts. ...

Had to look it up!

Sorry, I didn't take any notice of new ones. I could see snow guns laying on the ground, and I could see new pipe with new fittings recently welded onto the pipe to accept the...

I think the River has learned that once you go thru the expense of engineering the proper sized culvert, dig out the old one, clean up the trench, install the culvert and backfill, you can throw a...

Folks, I did a bike run up to Mt Abrams, where they are starting a new bike trail system to replace the void left when Sunday River gave it up. I hope they do well.

But what I wanted to tell...
