They actually warned about that last night on the mountain report (many areas closed at least to start). I was impressed they were brutally honest. Plus, they know they have a holiday weekend on the tails of a thaw to hard freeze. To have anything to work with for tomorrow, this was the smart play. And they did advertise this (they even advised having a few extra cups of coffee before heading out late morning).

Looking like a good weekend for a beer run...meaning one run straight to the bar for beer.

Zoomer Bar should start with Rumple Minze and Fireball to fight off the hypothermia.

Yes and it is a blast! Actually that is the entrance to a glade that drops right after that at A Basin. Once in the trees camera stays in the pocket. If anyone had thoughts for skiing Colorado now is the time with prime conditions.You moved out west and got into cross-country?

I have these thoughts on a daily basis during Northeast thaw events..
Shawnee Peak (Maine) was a mixed bag tonight. Top 1/3 was not great, some trails patrol just closed. Both 2/3... was 1/3 scary and 2/3 okay. There was lots of shiny corduroy. But where they groomed twice tonight was nice but cold. The wind convinced me to bag it after 6 runs. I expected worse but hoped for better.

Mount Snow was a mix of nice, soft fresh manmade where the guns were running, some decent machined groomed packed powder where they made snow yesterday and groomed it overnight, and some "chatter-roy" where it's just been groomer only since the freeze up.
Crowds weren't too bad until 10AM when the masses hit in full effect - overall not too bad
Now it's time to check the crowds in the bar and make sure the thaw didn't effect tap lines!![emoji481]

whiteface was not too bad today. there some trails where the surfaces were so icy i thought they shouldn't have opened but some trails were surprisingly very good. mt. ops did a great job.
the crowd was definitely thinner than last year.
overall, my group had a lotta fun. kudos to mt ops.

Sunday River still very icy. Found some stuff to ski but not much. Hardpark & ice. Busy, but mostly in lodge.

They had an issue early am that took down the air for snowmaking. It's fixed, system was cranking up again by 130pm. Should have some more variety tomorrow with fresh machine snow.

These are the best times to support the smaller/medium ski areas, at least the ones with good recovery abilities.
