Date(s) Skied: December 30, 2012
Resort or Ski Area: Mt. Abram
Conditions: Powder! Packed Powder!
Trip Report:Great day at Mt. Abram today. They got about 4" or so of snow overnight and since there were about 100% open we hit it up. Natural trails off the front face were really great. Windy and cold but Mt. Abrams lift is tucked in the trees so it was not too bad. They are letting people ski the t-bar line when it is not running which is awesome. Nice crowd but ski-on to the lift most of the day.

Mt. Abram is mint when the snow is on. Highly recommend it.

Looks like you got a fam of good skiers.

I saw someone today do an accidental stall > front-flip on those short mini-skis today though. Those things look hairy in the powder!

Thanks - those snow blades are pretty fat compared to others so they do OK in Powder. They are ideal in about 4-5 inches of light snow which is what we had yesterday. Anything deeper or heavier does give her trouble so we may add a ski to her quiver at some point. She does have some Volkl's for groomer days.

She can really maneuver in the woods with them. She was going into some off-map glades that were fairly narrow for me. She does a good job keep up with her 'three' boys.
