Just back from a short jaunt to N. Conway. Besides the moose sighting (see my advice to those who decided to try and pet the animal) :eek: , we passed by Bretton Woods and Attitash off of Route 302 and returned by them as snowmaking operations were in full tilt under a moonlit sky.

Attitash had lots of snowmaking going on underneath the Yankee Flyer (or clipper) Express Quad this PM and tonight. It was their typical pre-season route. Tonight, they had guns going all along the base area and some of it was making it to the road! Won't be long now. There was also a crew with lights working higher up on the route off of the summit.

As for Bretton Woods, guns were in full force this PM near the Fabyan Express Triple (or what once was) and also further west. Tonight they were making snow behind the MW Hotel (nordic operations) and also on the route they currently have open from the Bethlehem Express Quad.

Cannon may or may not have been making snow...we were heading north and looked back from Waterford (VT) to see a light, though there is a light near the state's transmitters at the top of the mtn (which looks kind of spooky from the distance). :eek:
