Tweet from an hour ago says HSQ back up. Fresh turns from the summit tomorrow, perhaps.

Just a question... has anyone ever skied the atitash brook between Attitash and Bear. It's something I've always wondered if it was possible on a big snow year and till I saw this video I never new for sure.

If u have done it before, where is the entrance and how far is the traverse in?
Not thinking of doing it anytime soon but just for the bucketlist...

^now that this has been posted on the internet it will probably be an off-map bump run. Looks like fun, though.

Cat was pretty fantastic today. I'd say their claim of 9" was accurate. Lots of fresh or wind reloaded snow to be had. ROTD was probably Cheetah. I'd say the damage from last week has been about 90% repaired. The rain did build up the traditional areas of ice flows on some of the natural trails. We could use a week of really cold weather up there as some of the river beds down low were open and running in areas. The Quad still appears to be having some issues. A couple of rides today it would stop and then they'd only run it about half speed for the rest of the ride.

Wonderful day for sure. I was shocked that the sun was out full time today. I can't even feel my legs after these last two days.
Bonus pic. My favorite picture hanging in the lodge that I may have to steal.

Snowpack took a beating this weekend, but I was happy it remained warm today to make the natural stuff fun.
Hopefully this is the last of the warm stuff for awhile. Great skiing with Xwhaler Yeggous, Frapcrap and Snoseek.
Hopefully Mother Nature mends things quickly. Going to be ugly up there for a bit until the next refresh

That's awesome. My legs were cooked at that point. Way to get after it some more.
Great to finally meet you as well.

My youngest son is off from school this week (regents makeups) and I'm looking to head up to Wildcat with him Wednesday to ski Thursday and Friday. Forecast right now is for some snow but I'm concerned that after this meltdown that there will be no trees available for us to ski.
Since I don't know how to access Tuckerbrook or Elevator Shaft (DHS I'm hoping you will be my guide to those areas in early Feb before the Summit) I'm not concerned about steeper trees but I would like to be able to ski the lower mountain trees I see on the map.
Am I delusional to think that is probable?
Take into account that neither of us is worried about thin cover or base dings.

Things took a hit, but most of the stuff on the map was holding up okay by end of the day yesterday and the temperature was dropping below a damaging level when we left. Coverage should be reasonably fine. Surfaces will be of greater concern. They'll need some snow today through tomorrow to cover up some firming base that likely crusted up good overnight. There are a couple of areas to be concerned with creek beds opening up. I'll message you about the problem spots.
Thanks!
Sounds like it will be very similar to the trees I was able to ski at K and Mt Snow the past week and a half. Maybe a little firmer with better cover but that will work fine.

well they got 3-5 inches of dense snow and wildcats snow reports sounds pretty optimistic.
Don't ever believe a thing they say in the snow report. They will totally white wash them. They were raving about the Christmas week dump which was completely blown off the hill.
Fail - facebook video won't post. Yesterday looked amazing.
