Snow was plenty firm but groomed nicely with very few icy spots. Most of the of the non-glade trails were open. Every thing opened was groomed. Exhibition to Birches was the run of the day. Also liked uppercut and lower crewcut. Good to see that they are putting some effort into these...

Was on the lift at 10:30 hoping that the bluebird conditions and spring temps would soften the boilerplate. Like many plans .... This one fell short. After a couple of laps on the Kanc Quad , Blue Ox and Rummer runner I headed to the North Peak. Did a few Laps on Walking Boss which was hard...

Arrive at Ragged on Thursday at 9:30 liftopia coupon in hand, to find the parking lot nearly empty, nothing unusual in that. Then I look up to see the lifts aren't turning. Amble into the lodge to find a small crew of idle skiers and riders and find out they are on wind hold and it doesn't look...

Last minute decision to hit Loon on Friday. (Had some vouchers and my usual haunts were too pricey.) Pleasantly surprised that Temps kept the crowds at a minimum. Never waited more than a minute or two for a chair on the Kanc Quad. All of the trails of Kanc lift skied great. Ski to the...

Typical Mid-week day at Ragged - no crowds ski on to the chair. The snow was very firm but not icy. Groomed flat and predictable. A good day for high speed cruising. Not a lot open - basically 4 trails from the top - 2 off of the six pack ( blueberry or head wall to lower ridge and newfound...

Conditions: Packed powder, groomed Weather: Overcast, high 20s Crowds: What's that you say? Hit Ragged about 10:00 am using $21 Mayan end of the world promo tickets. No lines, nice conditions. Best runs were show boat, flying yankee and exhibition. Ridge was open but the snow wast sort...

Sunny, low 30's. Can't get much better weatherwise. Arrived on the later side around 10:30 and was put in parking lot 3. Made me a little nervous about crowds (I've got a major crowd phobia when it comes to skiing). Turns out there was a big youth race on Flying Yankee (closed for the race)...

Seems like a fit in the Northeast TR section if in the upper regions. Spent the holiday week at a condo in Quebec City with my wife and two twenty something kids. Great vacation in a fabulous city with the skiing only 25 miles (Mt. Ste. Anne) and 50 miles (Le Massif) away. Neither area...

Beautiful Bluebird Spring ski day. Parked at South peak (pemi?) area which was virtually empty at 9 am. First run on Boom Run was bullet proof, chicken heads -- no good. Escaped to North peak, Sunrise was beautiful but rest of North Peak needed another hour. Flume was a rock hard sheet of...

Spring Skiing Terriffic day out in the sun. Got to the mountain with my wife around 10. Snagged a decent spot in lot 4 in front of the quagmire. Rode the six pack for a couple of hours. During the first hour the snow on Ridge, Crew Cut and Chutes held out OK except at the intersections...

Weather: Overcast in the twenties Conditions: Packed with a little loose on top a few icy patches here and there (note for DHS, Birches is still bumped) Crowds: Crowds??? no such a thing Place is about 70% open and the snow is nice. I liked crewcut and ridge the best today but exhibition...

Weather -- Clear partly cloudy and (very) windy. Temps in the high teens. Conditions -- Hardpack with a inch of loose here in there Crowds -- Non- existant 14 named trails were open. Basically two ways from summit to base (Chute and Ridge) Crew cut and Headwall helped to mix it up enoughto...

Well, the good news was that there were no crowds and what was open wasn't bad . The not so good news is that all that was open was Blueberry patch to Upper Chute to Lower Chute to Village Green. So for those unfamiliar, that's one route summit to base, half blue, half green. If it wasn't my...

Just thought you'd like to know.

Took a trip to Santa Fe with my wife and some non-skiing friends and awas able to catch a day at Ski Santa Fe. Sure it's not Taos but it wasn't bad. Weather was in the mid forties/sunny in the city but 15 miles away (and one mile higher up) we had some nice snow showers. Millenium chair to...

Great conditions on the groomed, packed powder and unused corduroy abounded. Glades that were open looked a little mangy so we stayed clear. Temps in the upper 20s, Low clouds flat light. Virtually had the place to ourselves.

Conditions: Groomed and lsgr, firm with a little loose stuff where there was a little more traffic Weather: Bluebird, low thirties, windy in spots. Terrain: About 60% maybe. No trees and if it wasn't groomed it was shiny boilerplate that would only make an othopedic surgeon happy. TR: Made...

Thursday, Feb. 28 Ragged Mountain Packed Powder, Tracked Powder and just a little pit of fresh Trip Report: Sunny to partly cloudy day in the low teens with an occaisionally stiff wind. Still no crowds to speak of even though it was NH School Vacation Week. Only waited a few times to...

Conditions: Firm to boilerplate but no glare ice. Hard Courdory furrows pretty much everywhere but edgeable. Perfect blue skies, 25 degrees with a stiff wind most of the day. Trip Report: Now that the Spear Mountain Triple is running they have a little more variety. Good runs from top to...

Jan. 31 Ragged Firm, smooth and fast Spent a bluebird day in near seclusion ripping GS turns on some freshly groomed hardpack. It rained the day before and and then it got cold overnight but the groomers did a fantastic job turning it into some very nice cordouroy. The conditions stayed...
