Ski Bradford - 2/27/2016

[Bostonian]

Date(s) Skied: 2/27/2016

Resort or Ski Area: Ski Bradford

Conditions: Frozen Loose Grainular

Trip Report: Since I didn't have a chance to get out today, I wanted to at least try some place new and different. Bradford is in Haverhill, and really is a great little family hill. While $33 is a bit steep for such a hill without the amenities such as a bar and older lifts, it is a good place for kids. I mainly stuck to the hornet chair, but they do have something like 15 small runs. Even with all the rain and bad weather that we've had, they still had plenty of coverage. All in all a fun night out and I am glad I was able to support a small local hill.

Now for some photos:

Reminds me of night skiing at Mt Tom.

Where I learned to ski and raced in high school. Lotta good memories from the rope tows to the gates

It's a great community hill, really a throwback to days past. Old School Snack bar and lodge - very community oriented. I just hope this winter's lack of weather hasn't hurt them too badly. These little feeder hills are so important to the overall future of skiing, as it's the type of place that helps groom the next generation of winter sports lovers.

Thanks for the report. I have some Boston Ski Expo vouchers to Bradford valid after 3/7. It's good to hear they still have some decent coverage. Hoping they still have snow in a week.
