Sunday, Monday, Tuesday Feb 6, 7, 8
Loon
Conditions:
2/6 Sunday
6" New snow overnight, with a rain-ice layer at varied depths, depending on parts of mountain. These are difficult conditions to enjoy. As the crowd broke it up, it was a little better. But, still alot of work. Largest crowd I have seen on a Superbowl Sunday. Lift line for 7 Brothers, couple of minutes. None for North or South Peaks. Basin chair ski on too. I don't bother with the gondi, but I didn't notice that the line was off the concrete.
2/7 Monday
Extensive grooming made for a fast and easy day. Needed after getting beat-up on Sunday. Warm, but still below freezing. Conditions were awesome, and went from bell to bell with one short break. Not crowded, not empty. Ski on lifts. Gondi, inside building.
2/8 Tuesday
Awoke to couple inches overnight, and snowing. Close to 30 degrees at opening bell. Conditions were great, and the place was empty. Not "powder", but fresh tracks were available to all. Got colder as the day went on, and the snow picked up to limit vision. About 1pm temp really dipped and snow got driving. By 2pm it was difficult to ski, given temp, wind chill, and new snow depth of 6+. Gave up at 3pm. Not many others still on hill. I'm guessing Wednesday will be awesome.
