Date(s) Skied: 3/26/10

Resort or Ski Area: Sunday River

Conditions: HARD pack

Trip Report: Got out for about four hours with BVibert, deadheadskier, and JimG. Severine was out earlier too, but I missed her.

Conditions are pretty uniform hard pack across the mountain. Slightly better on the outer peaks (White Cap & Jordan (Lolla anyway)). Appears that temps must have plummeted during grooming last night. Some of the cord is frozen SOLID (still a lot of it out there at 3:00 when I came back in).

Escapade seemed to have the best snow out of anywhere (maybe they waited until the last minute to groom that?)

Obsession was fun and had some good pockets of softish snow ( once you got past the very top).

Skiers left of Lollapalooza was also softish... but not great.

Had fun skiing with some new people though.

Will pull a few pics from my camera and post them shortly.

Decompressing a bit before climbing back in the car and heading over to the 'Loaf!

I'll add more when I'm more awake. In short; it was an adventure getting there and the conditions could have been better (much better)... but I had a great place to stay and it was nice to ski with my wife, DHS, and JimG again, and to finally meet and ski with WJenness. Thanks to DHS and WJenness for the tour, I had never been before, but it seems like a fun place with some interesting terrain. I want to get back there sometime when the conditions are better.
