Ragged 03/28/08 - woods are open, 6" fresh

Ragged Mountain, 3/28/08

Conditions: 6" fresh though it got a bit heavy with rising temps, woods open!

I took my son up for the afternoon. The roads in the morning around here were awful. I saw a tow truck winching out another tow truck at one point during the morning. Anyhow, we were psyched to find 6" of fresh snow and basically an empty ski area. Great afternoon but wish it had been less foggy/cloudy. The snow got a bit heavy but even found untracked stuff at 4 pm which was sweeeeeeet!

Should be good for the weekend!




New Canada Road looks like mid-winter. This is a shot leaving. It was unplowed coming in.

A pic of the snow on our last run (lifts closed-this is what you get Saturday morning)

I suspect that this may be the last time this season I'll see my skis in this much fluff unless I go way north.

Visibility was an issue.

It's big but is it underwire?

Nice! I hope Sunday will be good at Loon. Meeting up with my daughter there tomorrow. Can you believe her statement to me this week was, take it easy on my will ya? Last time we went, she said she was pretty beat. Well seeing as she has she had only one trip this season. This was coming from a 25 year old to a 51 year old. LOL Thought that was pretty funny. Shouldn't that statement be the other way 'round?

Nice pics. When did Mardi Gras get so popular in New England?

The Mardi Gras trees have been forming for years near chairlifts. They deserve a thread of their own. Regarding Mardi Gras popularity, check out the vid I shot at The Stone Church in Newmarket the Saturday before Mardi Gras this year:
