Went to Ragged for the first time in 5 years.
What a great mountain and of course, with this year's exceptional crop of late season snow, all the non-snowmaking stuff was fabulous. Since I was there last, they added more glades. Moose Tracks (off Ridge Run) skis like Squeeze Play (Ramshead, Killington); Exhibition Glade (to the side of Exhibition) skis like Low Rider (Snowden, Killington) and the Abyss (between Showboat and Flying Yankee). All had exceptional cover - no bony places.
Most of the Glades in the Ravine had a bony spot or two, but skied quite well. The exception was Karen's Dream which was officially open for the first time when I was there. I took a run on it, even though it was really bony.
There were lots of places to find bumps: Sweepstakes, Crew Cut, right side of Exhibition, Twister, ...
The groomers were nicely groomed and apparently they finally got their act together on snowmaking: I don't think I have ever seen more snow on Showboat, Yankee, Exhibition, Birches, to name a few.
The only thing really lacking at Ragged is an honest-to-goodness steep, but IMO, this is true of all of NH.
New trails have been cut on Pinnacle Mt. in anticipation of an expansion.
They will be open daily for at least another 12 days, so if you are heading north on I-93, get of at Exit 17 and experience Ragged.
