Loon 11-19

Going to start my season tomorrow at Loon.

Anyone plan on being there? I'll only be there from 9 to noonish as I have to work tomorrow night. A few hours is typically all my legs and feet are into the first day of the season anyways.

Did you make it? Any reports? Planning on going Friday, would like to know if there are a decent set of trails open...

 

[deadheadskier]

yes. It was pretty good up top. Basically 3 solid options off the Gondola leading to a WROD on Seven Brothers to run out. Hopefully that improves as it was really my only complaint as they were only running the Gondola. I would've preferred they been running the East Basin to stay up top, but being as there were maybe 50 people skiing and most of them pass holders, I understood why they weren't running the lift.

They were making a crap load of snow. I'd expect North Peak to be open with Haulback to Lower Walking Boss as the primary route. At least 1 or 2 runs off the Kanc as well.

Thanks for the report. Hoping that there will be more than Seven Brothers to the base...did that last year and the WROD was a bit tough in the afternoon. Guessing they will run more lifts on Friday for the crowds.

Well, as of today they have Lower Picked Rock open for a 2nd lower mountain route. I bet Friday will be pretty good. Much better than what I experienced on Monday.
