Date Skied: 11/17/2007
Resort: Mount Snow
Conditions: packed powder, decent coverage, sunny and some flurries early in the day.
Trip Report:
I do have to say I am quite impressed with Mount Snow. I started at 11:00am this morning. I made the mistake of parking at Carinthia and thinking Long John or Deer Run was opened to ski over to the main mountain. I did two runs at Carinthia and took the shuttle over to the main mountain.
The first lift up I took the Canyon quad and skied down the Canyon run. Snow guns were going. Coverage was good. It felt like mid winter skiing.
I took the trail from the top of the Canyon lift down to the North Face lift. Plenty of snow on the trail.
Chute was opened and bumped up. I just picked up my new boots on Friday and had decided to take my “rock” skis, Salamon 1080s. Well, to sum it up, new boots make a big difference! I took several runs here. I did not hit any icy patches, the bumps that were there were spaced perfectly, and there were only a few boarders / skiers on it while I was there.
I did alternate and do a couple of top to bottom runs from the Summit Express. It was a great first day of the season for me.
