Date(s) Skied: Dec. 15

Resort or Ski Area: Stratton

Conditions: spring without the sun

Trip Report: After passing up Monday following the snow/rain event of Sunday night, I was pleasantly surprised by Tuesday. It never dropped below freezing Monday night, and the half inch of icy crust just melted away. Except for the lack of visibility up top, the snow was fantastic - none of that "packed powder" parc that New England resorts try to pass off as snow. I'm sure today will be a different story... I offer my condolences in advance.

I was there the next day and it was different, but really not as bad as I thought it would be.
