On Saturday it was definitely spring conditions. Best run of the day was Vertigo. I enjoyed skiing it over and over again. I skied a lot of terrain that day because we had hero snow and the precipitation only lasted about 10 minutes.
After the drop in temperatures, Sunday was a day to do groomers or Outer Limits where they were blowing snow. I also enjoyed Upper and Middle Superstar both before and after they started blowing snow on it. Lower Superstar was pretty slick. If you were out early, the groomers were mostly OK but later on most of them were scraped off.

Good Sat (soft, bumps, cloudy), Sun (sunny, good s/m on OuterLimits)

I agree w/Tyrolean: I have both of these days in my podcast. Sat was great soft bumps, a few drops of rain perhaps, but otherwise great. Sun, Outer Limits was beyond comparison. Some helmet cam preview of these days in the latest trailer http://www.northeastskipodcast.com.

Skied Saturday at Attitash on the Bear Peak side. I was shocked at how good things were.
