I bet a lot of that stuff is good right now.
Looking at the woods off liftline...lot of stuff in there...might have to carefully poke around in there..that rime did no trees any favors.

yeah might be worthwhile to do a recon run or two before getting too excited out there

Oh my, that looks nice. Never skied goat or that face. Looks like it needs a ton of snow or skis get carved by rock (it should be the other way around).

Nice pictures, Merci

Pic #1 NO That's an elevator shaft.

Pic # 2 Yes, butt that's steep. 38%?

Pic # 3 Deep rutted moguls. I would defensively ski it. The one glowing part of a mogul someone skied into hard. 7 bumps down.

Have fun

Was wondering about Starr. Also how the woods off Starr and liftline are...they look like a ton of stuff fell in there. Even Sunrise glades has branches all over the place.
And they left the tree that fell across upper liftline exit...saw some people ripping down it......far greater ability than me!20240205_083436.jpg

Actually that's the entrance to Goat..it's pretty flat...the entrance is very narrow... you just...sliiiiide in. The double fall line is the killer.

I get dizzy skiing double fall lines. That's when knowing the trail is key. Butt, as we all know windblown snow, fallen trees and snowboarders can make matters worse.

That's why I ski with the Huffingtons (New Hampshire code for Weed, in other New England states you don't need a code because it's kind of legal). 🎩
