They have a cool shot of all 4 cats (equipped with tillers) together on their social media under the Spear lift.

Fun weekend in the woods:

Did you get a free trip to the "Ragged Edge" tuning shop? lol

Based on how little there was out snowmobiling this weekend I assumed it was boney.

Quick question here.
What's stopping someone from buying the pass through powderhorn for those sweet colorado partner areas and skiing primarily ragged except for a trip west? I like powderhorns incentives better than ragged. I assume they wouldn't care right?

 

[Newpylong]

Probably nothing.

Not sure if you need to load individual days on your pass to ski sister mountains? Vaguely remember a couple girls from Wintergreen having RFID issues over X-mas week. Not a big deal but may get annoying.

Not the best picture but the seeded bumps are a nice addition and skiing decent given the recent weather.

I skied those … briefly … on Friday. A little rough. Descent rhythm though.

They'll need some warmer weather or more natural on top and then skied in more. Gonna be door #1 cause door #2 seems to be a Bridge too Far this year. When they're good I usually love those because they're low angle.

Pass prices listed, not sure what it was last year but $379 is still a great value.

Pass prices calculated by age on date of purchase, used to be jan 1. Only matters if you have a kid turning 6 but just saved me $350.

I'm once again on here plugging powderhorn but if you guys were wondering if it's worth taking your ragged pass west I'm here to say this place punches above its weight. Nothing super steep and no big open bowls but probably some of the best tree skiing around. If you like Steamboat trees then these ski similar and if there's fresh the competition is super low. Like ragged it's a well run locals area.

For anyone on the fence, it changed over about 10 minutes ago, there is nobody here and it is snowing about as hard as it has all year.

 

[Newpylong]

May go tomorrow. I've had no desire to ski at all given conditions sadly.

Great turnout for pond skim today, every snowmaking trail open on closing weekend in april. My kids made countless friends this year, many I suspect will last for life. Only good thing vail ever did for skiing in NH was help families return to small mountains run by people that actually know their customers names and give a shit.

For the season pass, the next price raise isn’t until Sep 5th. Did they limit pass sales last year? Considering how long to hold off buying one.

I dont have an answer but am curious what you plan on running for a pass quiver. I'm just not sure at this point but the cannon + indy and a ragged pass checks alot of boxes for me. Cannon instate vet pass is silly cheap and indy add on is also a killer deal. We didnt make turns this year and that bums me out!

To my knowledge passes were still available throughout the season. I suspect they dream of being busy enough to sell out. Crowds were simply not an issue last year on hill, in 50+ days at ragged, doubt I waited in a lift line >5 mins more than a few times. There were times I skied spear for a couple hours to avoid the six line but it still was not bad compared to the competition. The lodge, bar and cafeteria can get crowded on bluebird Saturdays in jan/Feb.
