I have a friend who is there. He says it's the best opening day man-made snow he has seen.

Nice.

Nice vid! The song chorus might be a bit of hyperbole, but still it was a pretty great today. Video would have been better if it featured more of the AZers in attendance. Although it does capture the elusive Riverc0il getting on the 2nd chair, and DeadHeadSkier and I skiing away at 1:30 (yes me on skis). Great to ski with all of those guys and also BradJ at the Cat today!

DH and I then headed over to catch some turns at Bretton Woods. I had to switch back to boarding because my quads were fried from Wildcat. Good times over there as well.

NH season is ON!

Today's bizarre sighting..........a rather large red fox approaching a parked vehicle on the side of the road in Crawford Notch. It appeared that the people in the car must have been feeding it.

Oddest behavior I've ever seen from a Fox.

I had a great day today at Wildcat. It was good to finally meet several of you. It was equally nice to see a lot of the Wildcat staff and regulars who I had missed for the last 7 months.

I stopped by Bretton Woods on the way home. "Some walking required" is one way to put it. It was melted out to slush at best for most of the section below the intersection with Crawford Ridge.

Good to meet you at WC even though we didn't share any turns.

DHS didn't do any walking at Bretton Woods...

Yeah, it wasn't as bad as that picture makes it look. Maybe 20 feet of wet grass / mud to cross. Bottoms of my skis were fine.

Glad I'm lazy and didn't get the preseason tune though......

Wildcat was great today, best early season conditions I've ever been to. Held up great and they could prob go tomorrow if they wanted to. Idk if anybody saw me there I had camo pants and a green/black jacket riding a white snowboard. I'd like to meet some of you sometime

You were that out of control asshole?


j/k


I typically try and post up an event when I head places. The announcement Wildcat was opening came late last night and I changed the title of the meet up thread.
Maybe next time. Always great to meet new forum members and make some runs.

I agree, the conditions today were great for a first day; especially the lower half of the hill.
