Great day skiing. Met up with the annual posse', did a lot of Lincoln Peak groomers with them in the morning. Lots of corduroy to go around, kinda had set up firm. minus something temps,warming to the teens, lots of skis on the racks, but no lines, anywhere all day. Sunny day, everything was in play. Not much else to say. Highlight of the day was Slidebrook. First time there. Down the rabbit hole, it was lovely, simply gorgeous. Sun shining, no winds, lots of loose packed pow, tons of fresh lines to be had. It wasn't near as bad as I thought it would be. I felt like a friggin' tourist, taking all sorts of photos. My motto, no regrets. I'll let the photos speak for themselves.
Including photos for the uninitiated. I usually get there once or twice a year. This is my third time. It was a "The Point" Friday, so tix were half price.

Looks great. For as many years as I've been skiing there I still love the place. Kinda wish I had taken the ride up there today, went to plattekill instead

Billski, my wife and I did Sugarbush/Stowe last Friday and Saturday. I was surprised at how much better the snow was at Stowe (although I didn't venture off trail much with the wife in tow...).

How do you get back to one of the bases after skiing Slidebrook?

I'll be there this Saturday. I hope the conditions are good after almost 50* here in central NJ today.
