Forgive the sloppy post as it's from a chair in the rain slash snow... but I felt like the bumpers should know... the bumps are awesome and I'm the only 1 riding them

Finally home after 2 hours of an incredible day... about 3 inches of fresh powder on every trail made it for fun riding, and on the flipside the rain made it super wet...I was wringing out my gloves on evey turn. But for the first hour I was the ONLY one riding...besides ski patrol. I went through 3 pairs of gloves, 3 hats, 3 pairs of goggles, and 2 coats and it was well worth every second. Just enough for the fresh stuff to carve around and throw it all over... it started out slow but as the day progressed it got faster and faster as lines were laid on the trails... I left at 11 o'clock and there was still only 2 kids on the learning side.... just another amazing "new england powder day" lol :rolleyes:

thanks for the update. Looks like some great lines will shape up on Nor'easter, especially after some top coating.

Looks really good. I was at Wachusett last night and while I was really excited that they opened up a lot more terrain from the last time I was there, it was basically all groomers. I'm really getting anxious for some new terrain / bumps.

He doesn't have a helmet yet so he can't ski the trees.

HELMET????? Only people that have something to lose up there wear those :dontknow:
The only thing on my head in the trees will be a beanie and GoPro for that POV video you all CRAVE :-? LOL

As far as tree runs go they are gonna need a lot more to fill in.

And thank you to whoever moved the post into the corrcet area:wink: as it was hard to post from the chair today...also is there a way to upload photos from my phone w/o them showing up sideways:dontknow::dontknow:

I would post trip reports more often but it seems they get messed up when posting from my phone (passes time on the lift) and by the time I get home I usually have zero desire to do so?:sadwalk:
