I'm sure there's been times I've said "I'd rather sit at home all day than go to Waterville." Probably should've listened to my own advice. Aside from the fact that the place has the absolute worst trail layout anywhere, the conditions were frozen solid underneath a couple new inches of snow. Some stuff was ungroomed but nothing was marked as such and you'd suddenly be skiing on sheet ice.
Green Peak probably was a bad idea in the first place with the whole thing being on a double fall line, but they had a chance to cut a few nice long trails unlike anything on the main mountain and instead layed it out the exact same. I can't stand that no trail at the entire resort is longer than like 2000 feet before it merges with 2 other trails and then more trails split off a few feet down. There's absolutely no flow anywhere except maybe the Sunnyside stuff, but those are very short.
Not much more to say...everything skied the same. Some flatter areas were better due to the snow being skied in nicely, but anything with pitch was ugly. Even the parking lots are layed out like garbage there. You get to walk up and down steep icy paths between terraces, no stairs. I'd honestly rather ski Sunapee.
Enough bitching...hopefully skiing is back in time to enjoy Superstar.
