Date(s) Skied: Wednesday, March 16, 2005. 9 AM - 1 PM
Resort or Ski Area: Loon Mountain, Lincoln, New Hampshire
Conditions: Packed powder, moguls. Cloudy with snow showers, breezy and cool.
Trip Report: Another great day at Loon. It looked like we picked up a couple of inches overnight which smoothed everything out nicely. We immediately boarded the gondola and got going shortly after 9 AM. We took a top to bottom run down Speakeasy which was in great shape. It's a wonderful cruiser to start the day which dumped us out on Lower Rumrunner above the lower set of bumps. We tried them a bit, but the legs were still not quite ready.
Took the Kanc quad and hit Upper Rumrunner which got us somewhat warmed up to try the bumps lower down. The moguls were in fine shape; a bit hard, but the small bit of powder from the snow overnight smoothed them out quite a bit. We would then do three more runs deown Upper Northstar to the Rumrunner bumps. We then headed over to North Peak.
First run was Flume which was in great shape as it's been all week. I hit the entire set of bumps after the traverse and did okay, but they're a bit steeper than Rumrunner so I wasn't as smooth. We also hit Triple Trouble a total of four times today which had the best snow we have seen all week. A great day to practice the bump technique.
