Area skied: Ski Sundown Connecticut


Date skied: March 6th, 2017 from 10-12pm


Surface conditions: Packed powder, hardpacked, loose granular.


Weather: Cobalt blue, temperature 27F at 10am and 38F at 12pm.


I decided to ski locally yesterday after 15 days at Mount Snow this season. Ski Sundown is about 35 miles away from where I live and had made snow in March for the first time that I can remember. Yesterday morning was clear and cold so I decided to ski there to take advantage of their 2 hour weekday ticket. The mountain was closed last Thursday and Friday so they could make snow 24/7 and they made an impressive amount of snow. Most trails have 2-4' of base and it;s 6' + in a few areas.

Snowmaking only completed yesterday morning, so there are very few terrain features and no seeded moguls.

Stairway was nice corn snow yesterday. No great lines but still ROTD. The whole mountain was in great shape. If the bumps on gunbarrel get skied in plus the forecasted nat snow it should be pretty good
