Date(s) Skied: 03/17/12

Resort or Ski Area: Crotched Mountain Ski Area, NH

Conditions: Slush, cloudy, 50s

Trip Report: Good afternoon at Crotched today. Lots of slush and some thin spots but there was plenty of white stuff to slide down (or sink in). Hit most of the ways down. The summit quad and double were running with no lines and plenty of empty seats. There were occasional groups of kids but otherwise a decent amount of space on the slopes.

There are no longer bump runs like Sundown but they had some bumps on skier's left of UFO and Equinox that looked like they were in nice shape.

With the cover on the east side of the mountain they may have a shot of opening up next weekend...but it's definitely going fast.

Here are a few pictures...good coverage but there was a lot to sink into.

Ragged won't be open mid-week and is questionable for next weekend. What the forecast for Crotched?

I literally have gone through this entire season in disbelief

I always had faith that something good would happen, and alas all we had was one decent dump. We better get some payback next year!!
