That's a good idea. The top of the trail is excellent at the moment...no need to touch that.

Agreed, Hopefully the colder temps moving in will help solidify water bars and allow snow to hang around in them

yup, some water bars out there today at ellen
We skied Mt Ellen today and it was awesome. Skied FIS top to bottom twice and just had a wonderful day with less than we expected crowds. Original plan was to ski Killington Sunday but we are going to ski here tomorrow and head home early afternoon.
As an ambassador, I can tell you that our input on concerns such as this isn't going to bubble up to the right people. However, as some of those folks may be peeking at these posts; or if you have a more direct line to Mt. Operations; you'd have a better chance of getting desired results (or learn why something may or may not get accomplished).

Yup
Nice...
I'm curious if it was actually groomed. The narrative says it was groomed, but the snow report itself doesn't list it as groomed. If it actually was groomed, this would be the first time in quite a few years that I can recall that happening. I could see it making sense to push the whales out a bit at the moment, although I wouldn't want to see that be a regular thing.
And I quote: Last evening our fleet of Piston Bully’s were chugging up the hill to buff loads of terrain across both peaks. As of this morning you will find the freshest corduroy east of the Mississippi on some fan favorites like Sleeper Chutes, Sunrise, F.I.S, and Snowball.

"Piston Bully's".... factually and grammatically incorrect, but anyway... so no idea if it was done or not since I did not get up there.

Does Ellen not use PB groomers? I know South does.
I was referring to the spelling mistake in the name. Snark level high.

You guys are nuts. the top half skied OK if you are an experienced expert but what about all the swack, rocks and stumps on the bottom half. Why do you wnat to send the masses in there to snowplow the thing into the ground? If you want people to know you had a good day in there then just tell your friends in the bar.

last weekend (1/27), one run thru eden was enough to tell me that slide brook would not be very fun.
that being said i found upper woods to ski pretty well at both ellen and lincoln that weekend, but as you say, 'experienced expert' skiing for people who know how to read the terrain and don't mind dinging up the sticks a lotta bit
