I find it very entertaining to see so many people post about boiler plate, boney, bullet proof, skating rink, scraped off, shit show, etc.
Hello! It rained and before it could drain it froze. What do people expect? Obviously, they have to resurface and 3 inches of natural will fix squat. It resorts how long to open terrain and it will take them almost as long to properly resurface. If done poorly then by 10 am trails are scraped down to ice. Happened at Cannon often.
It should come as no surprise to anyone on this forum.
I am beginning to see the difference between West vs East for early season that being October to January. While it has warmed up on the Front Range the Mountains have stayed cold or at least cold enough. There have been no significant warm ups since mid November and a train of storms. Snow is dry and mostly natural so it does freeze up the same way apparently.
I hope things get back on track for NE. The weather was solid for a stretch and I loved seeing the Northeast powder days. Hoping the mixed weather coming with be short lived and all the boiler plate, boney, bullet proof, skating rink, scraped off, shit show, etc. Type of conditions go away.
So those of you who decided to go skating, I mean skiing what we're the expectations?
