I'll keep this one brief. My friend had a couple $11 Liftopia tickets and invited me to go, so of course!
The parking lot was pretty empty and the lodge was also empty. Ski on to the lifts all day.
There was 5" of snow last night but it was some of the soggiest snow I've ever skied. It felt like the brakes were being put on all day. Really rough on the thighs, they were burning after just the first run.
After lunch somebody gave us a stick of wax which slightly helped. Nice guy, if you happen to read this thanks again!
The North Face was pretty fun although hard to make turns due to the wetness of the snow. Some of the woods next to PDF were the run of the day for us, it was actually pretty good in there. Total coverage in the woods at Mt Snow still by the way. And the trails obviously had edge to edge coverage. There were a few bare patches on the mountain including one I didn't see until last minute and ended up pulling a really messy jump over. You can tell the base is pretty thin but the coverage is still excellent.
Around 1:00PM it started raining. I had shed my helmet and coat by this point as it had warmed up and I was sweating a lot due to the heavy snow, which was mostly untracked except for a few trails that saw more traffic.
So we went into the lodge and waited to see if the rain would stop, since it was really pouring and originally we were like, F this. But we decided to find some ponchos, which we did, and take some more runs.
The rain turned to ice halfway up the mountain and wet driving windy snow up top. It was really brutal riding the chairlift and with no hat or helmet I was getting a serious brain freeze.
But the snow was getting quicker due to the precipitation and we had some fun for a few more runs. Then decided our legs were burning like hell and also we were getting wet and freezing so called it a day around 2:30.
There was almost nobody there by the time we left. Also the Bluebird Express was closed due to some malfunction in the morning so we were riding a normal, exposed quad chair to the summit.
Hope to get another couple days in this season.
Sorry no pics but Mount Snow looks like Mount Snow.
