Was on the lift at 10:30 hoping that the bluebird conditions and spring temps would soften the boilerplate. Like many plans .... This one fell short. After a couple of laps on the Kanc Quad , Blue Ox and Rummer runner I headed to the North Peak. Did a few Laps on Walking Boss which was hard as nails mixed with a little glare ice and a little loose snow. It was fun but not the corn I was hoping for. As I headed back for some more rides on the Kanc quad I found that Sunset actually skied pretty well. The I remembered to try lower Flume which I had eyeballed from the north peak chair. In keeping with the theme for the day it was, well, firm, very firm. But if you like to rip it works.

Back to the Kanc for laps on speakeasy, rum runner, rampasture, Blue Ox, picked rock. They actually softened up pretty well by noon and if you kept your eyes open there was some buttery corn, mostly on the sides. Rampasture and Rumrunner were in the best shape.

A nice day out in the sun and I burned a voucher that was going to go unused so I'm putting this one in the win column!

Thanks for posting. I'll be there tomorrow, hoping for corn for breakfast. Same conditions at Sunday River today. The steep ungroomed never really softened, but groomed stuff did by 12 or 1.
