27. Pico 2/5 woods were great all around- upper trails got scraped - outpost was rather crusty

Was there too. Upper mountain was nice first thing, and then got beat later on.

My first time skiing there. I was shocked at the amount of woods to be had.

I rather enjoyed the outpost area. Particularly sidewinder and the woods between Sidewinder and Pipeline (Doozie, I think?)

Will definitely go back.

Undoubtedly the best $12 purchase of my life. Only a winning lottery ticket could top it.

Forgot about the $12 lift ticket. Talk about discount powder shots!

I spent a whopping $22 for the day including the $10 I spent on lunch.

Great skiing with you Bob, awesome day.

Spent most of the day in the woods and yes the upper part of the mountain was nice in the AM. Best part never waited more then 4 or 5 chairs and I had a 2 fer 49 ticket I got at the ski show.

Very nice.

I'm on The Max Pass this year, so no (additional) out of pocket expenses.

Yes, 4/5 chairs was the max wait all day for me as well.

I was worried about other places being busy, which is why I ended up there. It ended up being the right choice, I think.

Yesterday was day 39 for me at Sugarbush this season. I’ve spent more time at Mt Ellen than Lincoln Peak and have had the good fortune of skiiing on many legitimate powder days.

 

[Edd]

Day 22 today at Cranmore. It's dead here and snowing with 2-3" down so far. I'm having a great season with a lot of fresh snow days.

[Duncanator24]

I'm at Mountain Creek now and the snow conditions are great. Packed powder and some hardpack but no ice or boilerplate that I've seen yet.

That said, it might be crowded this evening because the Special Olympics start here tonight.

I agree, snow was nice and soft. Plenty carve-able. I did night skiing the same day and it never got crowded really. If only the mountain had some black diamonds to ride. Really only Straightaway and Zero G were open, all of the Bear Peak stuff was reserved for racing the whole night. Kinda wish I ended up going out to Blue mountain instead.

Sunday was day 20 for me at Sugarbush. I've only been at ME for 2 of those days though.

Oh man, you have been missing out! I have made it a point to spend at least 1 full day there every trip. Always the highlight of my trips there too. Sure I can find more challenging stuff at LP but no lines and the excellent flow of ME always brings me back.

Blue had some great bumps on Nightmare and Dreamweaver this weekend.

Going to ME means driving right by LP for me, so unless I see it is crowded or expect it to be crowded I usually just start there. When Slide Brook is running I'm more likely to split my day between LP and ME. Two weeks ago when we had that powder Saturday I headed straight for ME. Even at 8AM the LP lot was filling up quickly so it was a no-brainer that day to keep on going to ME. I really haven't hit much in the way of lines at LP.

Also to be fair, a number of my days were in December before ME even opened.
