PM me if you or anyone else (Rushski) wants to get together for a run or two...will be there Saturday and maybe Sunday AM. :beer:

 

[snowmaker4191]

alright will do if i can remember to lol

 

[Rushski]

Sorry, midweek pass only. Not sure when I can even make it back to Sunny.

Will definitely try to meet up at some point...

UPDATE: Sunapee saying at least 19 trails now and 4 lifts for the weekend. Ms. Trailboss was oh so lucky to ski there this afternoon and reports that Bonanza had "a deep base" and that the Sunbowl Quad WAS spinning but not for the public. She also reported lots of snowmaking going on.

Nice. Hope the storm doesn't keep me from getting there on Friday...

NOAA's calling for 4-7 inches for Sunapee Friday.
Niiice. Probably going to do Saturday afternoon (since they'll groom the hell out of it, anyway)

 

[snowmaker4191]

nope. all the blacks and most of the blues dont see a groomer for a day or two affter a storm.

 

[thetrailboss]

Sunapee has posted which lifts and trails will be open this weekend...go to their website and their snowreport.

 

[Rushski]

Too bad this wasn't my Friday off. Have to decide next Friday whether to hit Sunny, Okemo or Strat...

Hopefully all those (and others) will be well served by this storm.

Gonna hit up Sunapee for 1st time Sunday for their canned good drive.

Oh, how I wish this were true. Last spring they had an 11 inch dump overnight, a buddy and I blew off work to hit it. Even though everything but the Sunbowl was on windhold all day, there was 1 ungroomed trail (Sundance). Still, it was powder, and was great most of the day (until the ice moguls popped their heads up, anyway). We even trekked across to the front face, but it had been groomed down, too (and was windlblown as hell)

Saturday we will be skiing and riding on at least 20 trails and slopes with top-to-bottom terrain on four of five mountain areas including Spruce Peak, NorthPeak, the summit and SouthPeak. 6 lifts are scheduled to operate daily. Both base lodges will be open with all services available.

Why no Sunbowl, I wonder?
Best part of the mountain, in my opinion.

 

[snowmaker4191]

i dont know last i saw of it they were making snow on upper wingding,maybe the lift is having more problems?

 

[thetrailboss]

I'm going to be there Sunday AM. Got stuff that needs to be done this weekend...exams, xmas tree, etc :roll:

 

[snowmaker4191]

update: was talking to a guy from the mountaion and he said the reason the sunbowl quad wasn't running was because it was hit by lightning, he said it should be ready for use soon.

 

[ctenidae]

That's a good enough reason not to be turning it.

Was going to go up today, but decided not to- 2 school projects + 2 presentations +1 final exam + DIY project > $46 to ski the front side.
