Hardpack on natural snow trails and the trees, snow on trails getting snowmaking. Groomers groomed. Probably covers most places in the northeast, at least the northern part. I bet Woodbury in Ct and Crotched in NH will have most of their trails re-surfaced by tomorrow assuming they can run the guns tonight.

Pretty busy and windy at the Bush today, hardpack not a problem, that's what we have edges for and spend money and time to keep them sharpened. Being the beginning of the holiday week I assume every resort will be making as much snow as they can, when they can. Every resort should be booked up for the week or close to it.

Looks like the day after xmas will be a real winner weatherwise. The snow in the trees should soften abit in the afternoons but the reduced coverage due to compression means take caution if you go in.
