When ever I approach Mt Snow, I always wonder, what am I doing here? No moguls, brutal grooming. But then you see little bits and pieces peeking out here and there. Once again, she delivered. The new bubble sofa lift is great. My eyes are still adjusting to the blue haze however.

We lapped Bear Trap, Yard-sale, PDF and Olympic. My son hooked up with the Mt Snow freestyle team to practice his airs while I hit the zipper line under the chair. I don't know if Bear Trap will last much longer. The woods are full and icy. Ripcord is not ready and Plummet is very thin.

My Favorite trail after Bear Trap closes is Ledges. 1600 vert of rolling fun, with lots of gapers staring up the trail.

A few crappy pictures here.

Great pics! Looks like it really softened up in the afternoon. My wife and I took the Beartrap lift out of Sunbrook in the AM and the bumps were pure ice. I agree...not sure if that trail will make it until next weekend. We did get a few good runs on it this year. One weekend it was bumped up nice, another they were blowing snow on it. Kinda need to bomb down at a good clip and hit the rollers. Something you don't often get on that trail.
