Storm is over preforming, started as small flakes when I arrived at 8:00. Has not stopped, dumping big fat flakes now. Surface is excellent this afternoon, tomorrow should be very good with the fresh mixed in.

Won't take them long to get Yankee open in these temps. Looks like they've also widening Barnyard likely for the beginner park too.
Probably move to Cardigan next. Or maybe Lower Ridge? Tough to tell.

Yankee looking close, several guns running on showboat, spear is spinning. Blowing the rest of barnyard.

Impressive show on Showboat.
Thursday I noticed Lower Ridge was hosed up too, guess it could either be that or Cardigan next.

Curious to hear how busy it is this week. Thinking about just going for a ragged season pass instead of epic next year. All of the epic resorts will probably be a zoo this week anyways.

The Webcam gives you a pretty good view. It's been a slower start because of weather so they still have more core runs to spread the people out and an additional magic carpet to open. Even on the busiest weekends those two high speed lifts move people quick, Spear very rarely ever has a wait and 6 isn't long.

Definitely busier than a normal midweek day but no lines on either summit lift. Maybe a few minutes for barnyard and carpet.

The ragged pass is priced such that it can be easily paired with an indy, offering a range of options. I paired ragged with boyne blackout this year to get away from vail, will likely pair with ikon base next year.

Yeah I am planning to pair the ragged pass with Ikon base as well. Ikon has some better resorts on there anyways.

Appears the six is down again. Went down around noon, they were able to get it running to offload, has not moved in some time.

Time to push out what they were able to make on Showboat.

It appeared that a carrier got stuck in the lower terminal, they were trying to push it around the bullwheel by hand. They got the chair running at a low speed to unload then shutdown. They tried countless times to get it running through the afternoon with no success. When we left around 2:45, the six was spinning at a snails pace but was moving.
Really terrible luck for it to happen today. Place was busy and everyone was happy. To the mountain's credit they were handing out vouchers and clearly had all hands on deck working the repair. Patrol was even helping out. I don't know if they can open tomorrow without the six, barnyard and yankee were packed to the point of being unsafe. The coaches deserve credit, they recognized the situation and got the race kids off yankee.

Sunapee was packed but manageable on Monday. pretty skied off by noon. But all in all not bad. longest wait in line maybe 10 minutes. first few runs it was quicker.
the app showed 25 minutes wait at the main lift at okemo and at least 15 minutes at every other major lift today. I'm bailing and taking the kids to Crotched instead. Never been, and its 25 miles from my house.
If I could swing that that's exactly what I'd do. With Loon being the closest place to me the IKON wont work for me.

Loon is really only 15 minutes further away from Concord (just an example as it is on 93). Not sure where you are coming from.
Edit: I was thinking Ragged not sunapee as this is a ragged thread.
2nd Edit: Sunapee vs Loon is the same as Ragged vs Loon. (46 vs 1:01)

Good to know. I wonder how crowded or not crowded that would be. I’ve been to Cannon on powder days and College week days and it never seemed overly crowded there.
