Sorry to hear about your daughter. I saw many collisions this week while skiing....probably an all time high this year. Happy to hear she's doing better.

Hunter had a great selection of trails open today like Cliff, Minya, East Side, and Lower Crossover. At times it got crowded but nothing too bad, the crowds got spread out nicely. No lift lines to speak of. Guns were cranking on many other trails. Snow was soft and deep and terrain bumped up nicely on Cliff and Minya especially. I was actually a bit tired at the end of the day.

Cant wait for the real cold weather to arrive.

Until the weather patterns change, what you see for the next 2-3 weeks, is probably the worst you'll see all winter this year. I'm not really seeing anything that say February is going to be any worse than late January.

Thanks all! Diagnosed as a "minor" concussion, she's already doing much better than she was in the immediate few hours after it happened. She's most concerned now about not being able to use her iPad or read a book on the car ride home to CT tomorrow!

Good to hear! Crazy to get hit and pushed into the un-padded "backside" of the tower. Maybe once you pass the information to management, They and their insurance companies will consider completely wrapping more obstacles in high traffic areas.

Define "worst." I think we have a perspective conflict.

Damn... That sucks! How are you supposed ski right up to the chair if there are a few other people in line?!

This is a recurring problem at Wildcat. I get really angry if I have to stop before skiing right on to the lift. Holiday weekends are brutal. Sometimes they have to run the fixed grip lift to prevent a lift line. That is how you know it is getting bad.

Glad she's OK Jeff. That's a tough call to get I'm sure!

Thanks Glenn! Me and S knew when she woke up this morning and immediately started harassing and complaining about basically everything that D was doing was annoying her, that she will be fine! Had she actually acted nice to D, well then we would of been very concerned!! Lol

Yikes...how long before resuming normal activities? Hope she recovers quickly.

My daughter had a concussion back in October from a rough tackle playing rugby, missed class for a whole week. Had headaches for several days. First semester in college, give her a lot of credit for taking care of stuff on her own.

She's seeing our family physician later this week for a follow up, so we'll know more then. No headaches as of just over 24hrs after it happened, and her mental status and recall are seemingly very normal, so we're optimistic of her having a smooth recovery , on whatever timetable that ends up being!

The "biggest" challenge now is finding her a new POC race helmet in her size in an appropriate color to a 12 year old girl! Race helmet regulations are changing and the new ones, of the same type she was wearing that offer extra impact protection, are in limited supply (especially in size medium), as my wife and I are finding out as we keep searching the web (all of our local shops were sold out of her size and won't be getting any more in for "weeks" at least
