Any chance you were on the Coney Glade chair at all? That's a Poma HSQ that is a bit older than NRX and at least in the liftblog photos still has the cadence chain drive system in the terminal to move the chairs through. I'm curious if it is still that way or if they converted it at all to the tire system (some Poma HSQs of that generation were converted...some have not been)

Sunday River reporting 36” after all said and done. Probably an overestimate but who knows with all these drifts? Waiting out the wind holds now…
If it was an overestimate, it was only by an inch or so based on what I saw and skied. We would have needed that much to refill in all the streams the way it did. So much snow, still found plenty of untracked lines on Monday!!

So depending on how you arrive at the Big one storm is all part of the Storm riding. Before, During or After and I decided on all 3 and to beat out the storm and be in-place by Friday. I got 4 days in total. Friday was at Jay Peak(3ft during the week & wind closed Thursday), Saturday and Sunday for the storm at Stowe(Under performed at 12" or so) and Monday at Wildcat for (30" left overs) from Sundays total.

Just finished up day 3 at Saddleback. Day 1 (Monday) was leftovers from the pow day before, very good skiing. Yesterday the ungroomed stuff was near mank, while the groomers were ok. Soft stuff all around but warming too fast, and I’m a guy who loves spring snow. Today, the groomers somehow seemed a bit faster, but the ungroomed was unskiable, with a bunch of freshly roped off trails. The good stuff went fast this week, but it’s been a very relaxing 3 days here.
