Resort or Ski Area: Dartmouth Skiway

Conditions: Thin cover but decent conditions. Heavy snowfall improving conditions throughout the day.

Trip Report: The Skiway has had a rough year to be sure. There were only a handful of runs open on either side of the road. The snow was actually pretty decent, though, and Damian and I ripped runs down MBA and the Holts Ledge race course (trail name??) in the morning. By lunchtime it was dumping and there was 4 inches of new fluff on my car by the end of the day. Combine that with cold and blustery conditions and we nearly had the hill to ourselves to tear down the slopes in fresh snow and markedly improved conditions.
About 8-10 inches were on the ground in White River on Sunday morning, so I imagine the Skiway got at least that much, maybe a foot+. The skiing, while limited, should be great for the next few days at least.
