Resort or Ski Area: Mohawk Mountain

Conditions: Frozen Granular AM, Spring PM

Trip Report:

Well I figured I had to make my way back to Mohawk with the lifts spinning. Today was customer appreciation day so the lift tickets were FREE. Thanks Mohawk!! I pulled into a half full lot and was surprised to see how much snow they had left. I booted up in the parking lot and headed to the window to pick up my ticket. I first road the Boulder summit triple and headed down wildwood, I was surprised to see half of the trail was BUMPED up! Now I say half it was two to three bumps across at its widest, but they were still bumps. I attempted to ski them the first run but they were bulletproof, so I waited till later to ski them again. I skier the three open trails on skiers right of the mountain (Timber, Wildwood, Arrow Head) for about an hour before I had to take my ski's off and walk over to the Mohawk Chair. I only skied that side for a few runs, there was alot of traffic over there. Unfortunately there was no way to ski from one lift to another without taking my ski's off and walking a bit, but for free and this late in the season it was no problem. I finished my day off by lapping the bumps on wildwood, they had soften up enough so I wouldn't kill myself. The bumps were small and natural so the lines were a little wacky, but still fun to ski. Overall I had a blast it was a great way to get out of the house and put some millage under my belt.

Looks like there were several AZ'ers there, too bad we didn't know it at the time. Ours was a last minute decision to go, and I'm glad we did. Bumps on Wildwood were sweet, but short. Did you try Pinnacle on the far right? Cool old New England vibe on that, and we did it 4 or 5 times.

Hope to get some April days in, but due to other commitments, can't get out again until after Easter. Hopefully the rain and heat wave won't be too bad for NNE.
