Day 2 Stratton yesterday. Didn’t expect to be able to sneak away from packing to move. Glad I did. 7 distinct routes. Decent hard pack. No lines. 25k vert in 4.5 hours and home by 6

+ the only double black terrain open in the east!.

Day 1 and day 2 at stratton this weekend. Saturday was way worse than Sunday, conditions wise. that extra til after the refreeze helped.

Sunday, we got there at 8:30 and left at 12, experiencing the same as you hard pack but carvable conditions.

Saturday had good ungroomed far right of black bear. And black bear in general was good since I think they blew it after the rain. We hit that a few times. Everything else was an ice rink. Sunday was much better.

I know there were no lines yesterday, but there are so many people on the trails. Its tough to get used to.

ROTD was poaching east meadow under the guns.

Good day at K yesterday. Several natural trails open and skied a bunch of other trails I did not expect to be open. Powerline, Ridge Run, Upper and Middle Ovation, Old SS, and Skyehawk were great. As were the other open trails. Superstar was in great shape and fun to rip down. Low angle trees looked very doable as well. Since there were quite a few bump lines available I stuck to those and will wait on the trees.

Hope things don't turn into a total mess after today's rain.

In Stratton now, came up yesterday late. Man, you were smart to get in a day last week. Today is a disaster, and it's still raining. The cold front is sooo slow to arrive. Ugh. Not sure tomorrow will be worth it. Gonna be warm for a few days too. Need another cold snap ASAP.

Me too! I blew off Sunday. Didn't think it would be very good after Saturday's weather. Dan went, he said other than death cookies on the main trail, it wasn't bad. Kudos to getting after it early.

Random question but is it pronounced
Bell-air, I’ve never heard it said aloud.

2) 12/5/2021 Sunapee Only five runs as it scraped off quickly and was a bit too dangerous for my liking.

I skied Sunapee on 12/10 for the first time ever. 3 ways down at the top funneling into 1 trail. I started getting the Killington “run down like a dog” early November feeling once the people showed up. I’ll go back when they have more open


12/10 Sunapee
12/14 Mount Snow
12/17 Mount Snow

12/17 was the worst conditions I can recall in years. When I was wintering at Killington, I wouldn’t have gone out.
