Where was I skiing this skiing this weekend?

Hint: not a ski area.

Looks like Mt. Moosilauke? That's clearly Franconia Ridge, Liberty, and Flume in the background.

Darn, thought it would be harder. Stupid hikers...

Wait, you said "stupid hikers", how can that be, if the "stupid hikers", figured it out first try.......

Guess you earned some turns there, eh?

 

[BLESS]

it's a cool shot.

 

[MichaelJ]

Thwwpt!
Plus, if you were up there, you had to ... hike ... up.

Was going to say Moosilauke as well given the background scenery....

Because I wanted it to last at least a little longer.

You and your technicalities... I skinned, there is a slight difference.

so how was it?

The first run in some woods near the carriage road was nice although very tight. The run from the summit had some all right glades, but the snow was super sticky, and skiing the hiking trail out was pretty scary.

What route did you hike?

Snapper > Carriage Road.

Did you go all the way to the summit sign? If so - put it down as climbing a 4000-footer.

Yep, sat at the summit for a while and enjoyed the amazing views. You could even see the daks sticking out from behind the roxbury gap. Skiing down the first few hundred ft. was quite interesting, ice rink level of iciness. Luckily it wasn't steep at all so it was manageable.
