You are skiing in the wrong areas. North Lynx skied good, castlerock trails were soft. Rip cord was in great shape and the trees around Paradise were untouched.

We boarded at N Lynx and Castlerock. Castlerock had the best powder but it was intense for me. I never boarded moguls. It was lovely though...didn't do Rip Cord

At South today. Right side of Steins ginormous whales was consistent pow, point em and bust through. Chalky carvable atop higher wind blown whales, really fun very surprised. Reverse t-verse to any reachable woods (with Bravo dwn) was well worth it few times, untouched. Upper Twist~Moonshine plenty of soft stuff to hit. I'd say tomorr anything upper mtn as not lot traffic up there with Bravo down most day.

Guess I’m glad I skied mount Ellen today. Barely anyone on the mountain and all the groomers were skiing really nice. Hammerhead was a bit of an icy shit show but lower fis was pretty good. Semi tough and semi tough woods were awesome.

Is Super Bravo out for today too? Heading to SB, first tracks and ME for the 10 AM lift ...

App video shows bravo loading. Anyone know if the mt ellen bus is big or small today?

I just saw 3 chartered busses heading towards Lincoln peak so mount Ellen might be a good idea

But in all seriousness I'll be happy for you guys if I'm wrong.

Still empty! And rocks was so right about semi tough and semi tough woods. They are both really good.

Bravo went on windhold for awhile which is what caused the long line at GH and no line up top. Everything skied really well again but the mid-mountain winds were brutal. Interestingly, hardly any wind on Heaven's Gate.

On a happy note , it was cool to see the fighter jet formation buzz the mountain this am. We were at the top of spring Fling when they went over. Totally ��

Agree - the no wind on HG was a nice surprise. I was expecting the opposite. We did a bunch of amazing runs on Paradise and Spills and rode singles line and pretty much skied on. Great day on the mountain. However, ended on a bit of a downer...stood at the bar at rumbles waiting a good long time to order a drink, finally got belly up to the bar, bar maid comes over to where I was standing and looks straight over my head to a tall dude behind me and took his drink order. I shook my head and walked out. Headed over to Green Mtn lodge for apres where it was 100% more civilized. I love how over there you can spread out and sit in the cafeteria seats behind the band and still enjoy listening to them and have easy access to the bar. The bartenders over there are great and super laid back. Also, those awesome views out those big beautiful windows. Everything apres should be!

No wind holds or crowds at Mt Ellen today. Snow was great, too. Glad I decided on going to Lincoln on Sunday
