What's the damage?

[goldsbar]

Just posted a trip report on Belleayre. Plenty of damage but plenty still there. Overall, really not bad for this time of year.

I might go now thanks for twisting my arm.

I just got back from Crotched. I'll try to throw together a trip report. Conditions exceeded expectations. I am relieved.

We hopped on the $7 Waterville deal and the same can be said! The conditions were really good and there were no lines. Trio report to follow as well!

Was at Waterville as well. I was there late so the conditions were not the greatest, but still enjoyable. Edge to edge coverage on the trails that were open.

Hunter snowmaking on everything right now. Hellgate, 42, Cliff, Minya Ike, Kennedy, Belt, Upper K all had guns blasting. No crowds and tomorrow will be even better.

Christmas dinner was amazing.

That's the "damage" done I'm most worried about right now. Usually lasts through New Years Day.

Just looked at the mountain cams now and they are blasting snow all over and coverage looks great. I will head up there New Years Day for sure and have an empty mountain while everybody sleeps off their hangovers

There is Ice all over everything in Northern Vermont. We lost a ton of natural base from the rain/ice storm. I skied Smuggs this afternoon (12/25) and places I was skiing in the trees a week ago only have a couple inches and lots of ice covering them.



Stowe however is blasting today! I'm sure conditions across the notch are better than most places. Some natural snow is forecasted tomorrow.

Bretton Woods has recovered very well with most trails offering machine groomed packed powder, only a few runs still have a mostly frozen/ loose granular surface. However they were not making any snow today which surprised me.

Sugarbush recovered surprisingly well. All natural snow trails are done and the woods are obviously out of the question. But the man made trails that were open before the thaw are in fairly good shape and I expect them to have all or most of the snow making trails open by the weekend.

Was at Sunday River yesterday had nice runs. Nothing too challenging but conditions were fast and carve-able! We had a blast. You definitely can cover a lot of ground there!

Is there at least some good ice, crust, small snow base in the woods so that a good 10" or 12" could open them?

It's been snowing all day here at Sugarbush which is a good start. We'll need way more than 10-12" of new snow to bring the woods back into play.

pretty much everything except manmade was lost at smuggs too. I'm here right now, got up here on the 22nd. i heard rumors before the storm it was pretty much full coverage, its now gonna take a pretty good storm to fill in again.

Can confirm, up at smuggs from Saturday until today. Skied at jay yesterday (Wednesday 12/25) and there's a dramatic difference in snow. A lot of the woods are kinda skiable but it's rock solid and a couple inches will make some woods truly skiable. Smuggs needs a dump on the otherhand, however today's couple of inches does help.

Smuggs is reporting 8" in the last 24 hrs. Accurate? I heard "5" of fluff" at Stowe. I just got up to Sunape and am thinking I will just ski groomers here tomorrow with today's 2" mixed in.

 

[octopus]

I'm thinking Stowe is closer to the truth. Maybe 6 of fluff, it was fun but it's not gonna open anything else non man made.

 

[xlr8r]

Loon got 6" today. I think they wee in the sweet spot for NH. Everyone else seems to have gotten 4" or less.
