Word on the street says that I missed a great day on Saturday 12/12. The snow was good, it was not crowded, and the sun was shining.
For Sunday 12/13, two out of three ain't bad. Snow good - check! Not crowded - check! Sun shining - big fat zero. As it was everywhere in the Northeast.
There were three trails open from the top: Onteora and Wanatuska featured whales on their upper halves, and Mohawk featured bumps. Both the Superchief quad and #7 triple chairs were running flawlessly. Plenty of parking and Overlook lodge had tons of room. Couldn't tell you about what went on at the lower half of the mountain; didn't go there.
The wet snow hit hard about 11:30, when I ate lunch. Out from lunch, for about two runs I skied fresh tracks in something approaching a few inches of powder. But the snow quickly got heavier & wetter, until it was mostly rain at 2 PM. Soaked through to my butt on the lift, it was time to head home.
The 2:15 drive home took three hours. Never waited in a line at Bell, but waited in lots of lines of cars on Route 28 and NYS Thruway.
