Skied Mt. Snow yesterday from about 11-3:30 and had a great time enjoying the primo conditions before the rain came. We split the day so my son (9) could lead us to his choice trails before lunch, and then my daughter got to take the lead after lunch. Son is a wannabe park rat so he kept us at Carinthia where he took us down Mineshaft (I stayed out of the minipipe – kids loved it!) to Prospector – Nitro. My kids hit the little lips next to the rails and what not, but don’t yet get up on any of the jibs.
Second run was through the trees formerly known as Claimjumper, then his shift finished with a run all the way down Nitro. Conditions were uniformly good…I was shocked how good the trees were…just doesn’t seem like we’ve gotten enough natural to have the trees skiing this good.
Going back to Sundance lodge for lunch we skied the new section of seeded bumps on whatever the rail is just above the Sundance lodge…another great section of bumps to learn on at Mt. Snow…I guess the mgmt there is reading this board a lot this year because they are letting bumps grow all over the mountain!
After lunch, my daughter (12)wanted to lead us on a tour of the four “faces” of mount snow. We began with the trees formerly known as The Boonies…also great conditions in there. It was amazing to be skiing on lovely soft snow through the trees, and seeing the trail One More Time that parallels these trees scraped down to grass, rock and ice in many places. I guess the best snow is where others don’t go…
Next up was Plummet! ROTD for sure, the trail saw a few days of snowmaking about a week or so ago and hasn’t been groomed so it’s set up as moguls on top of snowmaking whales…It was just great and I was super proud of the three of us being able to navigate it with a reasonable amount of aplomb.
Clouds and freezing mist rolled in at about this time. We headed down into the Sunbrook area and hit up the trees formerly known as Dark Side of the Moon. These trees are much tighter than the other two areas we’d been in. Also, I need to figure out how to keep my line more to the right I think to stay in them all the way down. I always pop out early from that glade.
We then went up te Beartrap lift and saw that the disastrous “seeded moguls” had been mown down. That trail just simply needs some natural snow to grow good bumps I guess.
Did another run down Mineshaft-Prospector-Nitro then headed back to the Sundance lodge and called it a day…an amazing day!
I’ll be back Weds to see how the recovery from today’s rain disaster is coming along.
