I wish my local hill would see moguls. They used to, but they CAT driver that knew how to do it was fired. Now they let 1 trail ungroomed, but they are weirdly shaped because of snowboarders and the fact they they get cut out of snow making whales.

So didn't CT just get bombed with snow? If so why would you seed vs just let nature take over?

Eastern CT got bombed, western CT (where Sundown is located) didn't do as well with 8-10". The seeds are suggestions to encourage people to turn more often...

Solid block of ice is a gross exaggeration.

I watched a kid who clearly shouldn't have been on the trail wipe out and slide full speed down the entire trails. The run I took on it it was almost impossible to turn with how icy it was

I thought for sure sundown would have gotten more than 8 - 10". We got a good 2' here where I am

We only got a little more than a foot in Rocky hill and I guess towards the western side of the state they got less

Not trying to be a dick, but I rarely tune my skis (the edges are toast), and I had no trouble turning on all but 2 or 3 spots last weekend. If you did try to turn on those spots, then yeah, it was pretty much game over.

I've found the people selling tickets the last couple times I've been to be real jackasses. For example on Saturday I walk up to the desk to by a ticket for night skiing at about 540 and there's no one in line and the woman very rudely says she can't sell it to me until 550. I go outside and come back 5 minutes later to a line of 10 people, all of whom she sells night skiing tickets to.
