Mount Snow - 11/30/13

[vermonter44]

Date(s) Skied: 11/30/13
Resort or Ski Area: Mount Snow
Conditions: Packed Powder/Hardpack
Trip Report:

Started the morning off at 8:30, thermometer on the car read 4 degrees, However it did not feel that cold.

For November, the conditions were great. This was also my first day of the season. Ridge o opened as I got to it on my first run. The trail had snowmaking whales and was fan gun powder. Was great all day and lapped it a lot.

North face was a little scratch but not bad.

Some very flat light during the last few hours making for some interesting skiing.

Skied from 8:30 - 3:30 so all in all, a great first day of a hopefully long season.

Ridge was off the hook good! Those whales, which per a conversation I had with the mountain manager this afternoon were 8 to 12 feet deep on average were so much fun and covered with perfect fan made powder! By far and away was the talk of the bar in The Station Taproom this afternoon!

Nitro was groomed fun, Inferno had a few too many death cookies for my liking (another grooming tonight should solve that), Free fall wasn't so much icy as it was what I call "polished chalk" that was edgeable but also very easy to skid/charter over! Good snow on Cascade to Canyon too!

Snowdance has now had close to 36hrs of fan gun time and Exhibition/lodge went under the guns about lunchtime today! All that and the water flowing into Snow Lake is still equaling what they're pumping out!

GREAT November start for Mount Snow!

Had a good weekend up there as well. Yesterday turned out nice. Snow softened up a bit and the crowds were gone by noonish.
