Trip Report: The Homestead opened up today. Kudos to them for doing as much as they did. 2 runs open down from the top of Sullivan Quad. The combinations of Upper Marc Antony and Honeymoon Lane and Marjies Delight and Sullivan Trail. I thought with the warm weather yesterday the surface would be a little soft but it was not. Very much a Pocono Pavement hard fast surface. Marjies for the most part was unskiable today. There is snow on it but with the sun angle what it is at this time of year it gets nothing all day and its currently a steep block of ice, not very enjoyable. I only hit it once and will wait till further snowmaking and grooming to take place before hitting it again. Hopefully that snowmaking will start tonight. The Antony-Honeymoon combination was hard pack but edgeable. They also had a run down the terrain park (Moores Ramble-Turkey Trot combo) with the Glen Chair open, along with Sun Bowl, and Coolmore and the carpet was open too but I didn't go over to an of them. All in all I took 10 runs (nice hour and 1/2 leg workout) and will be back up there tomorrow and Sunday. At least its skiing.
