This is why I hate reserving and paying for RFID in advance. Would rather go to Mt Snow but now I'm stuck. I'll head over when free parking goes into effect at 1.
Oh well... hopefully it's still pretty good!

Lot of ugliness up here, but can't complain about a freshly opened Talisman!

So general report for the day:
Talisman: Fun but apparently there's still a big debris field from last year's floods and you are definitely hitting a lot of shit.
Pixie Dust/Seance/Wild Kitten/Disappearing Act: Only glades open today and you can ski them all in the same run. Pixie is alright off the top, a bit thin. Seance kinda sucked. Kitten was decent since it's low angle. But Disappearing Act was shitshow bad. Reminds me of when I go to Berkshire East and try way too hard to ski a glade just to ski a glade and end up just hitting rocks, ice, stumps, and everything but snow. Avoid this.
Sorcerer is supposed to open under the guns. Will check that out next.
Groomers are very slick under foot which was kind of surprising. Total frankensnow underneath the 4" of blower. Wizard in particular isn't fun. Slide of Hans was a trip but not worth a do over.
If Sorcerer is good under the guns I may stay till closing, if not I'll be taking the 30 minute ride to Okemo and spending the last couple hours of the day there since all but one of their glades is open.

The day hasn't been without some wins. After getting to Tali pretty early when they opened that, I just happened upon Sorcerer as they were dropping the rope and patrol told me to go before them. Foot deep untouched the whole way. Gun pow should keep it decent. May just lap that instead of going to Okemo.
But overall yeah lesson learned about coming here before it's ready.
