Burke, Sunday 1/29 messed up the date on the title
Sorry for the delay, I've had a cold ever since I got home from skiing on Sunday.
First time to Burke. With the awesome new quad, I made sure to get there this season. First impressions, very nice mountain, similar layout to Pico with the 2 high speed quads, skis like a big version on Berkshire East and Ragged. Great attitude to the place.
2" of fresh snow made for nice groomers first thing in the morning. As the groomers got skied off, the ropes started to drop on the natural trails. Some were still too icy, or had a thick layer of rust from Fridays storm. But there were some good natural runs to be found.
The beginner area is great with its own high speed quad. I found the various versions of jester to be lots of fun (narrow terrain park paths through the woods, see picture). They ran a speed trap race on the main race trail next to the poma which was interesting to watch from the quad. Speaking of the poma, it sure is steep for a surface lift. Not many left like that one.
