North Peak was Ice Coast skiing at its finest.

Rode the Kanc8 a few times, lapping the West Basin where the snow was slightly better than elsewhere. ROTD: Rampasture?

The Kanc8 base terminal dwarfs the Gov. Adams lodge.

Lower East Fall opened Wednesday and was great. Monster bumps. Some iciness later in the day. Got really cold on Thurs and everything was very firm. I don't really enjoy skiing ice bumps anymore.

One thing is for sure, we need at least 18-24" of snow. Tired of limited terrain and boilerplate.

I echo skef's report, Rampasture was the best trail, North Peak very icy. Still a fun day and cool to check out the Kanc 8.

i am skiing cannon thursday and waterville on Friday which will be days 5 and 6. a slow start for me this year, but the weather hasn't helped.

cannon seemed to have done ok in the mostly ice event the other day. they got 4" of snow out of it. most lifts open, 40 trails, and aggressive snowmaking it seems. i don't have high expectations but this seems to be my best option right now.

i have never been to waterville so I'm looking forward to checking out a new place, but i am sure it will be fairly limited in their offerings at the moment

low expectations should lead to a fun couple of days tho. staying in a fairly questionable but cheap motel in Franconia.

indy+ pass was a good decision. will use this week, prob saddleback over MLK, and in idaho/washington over presidents. worth the $100 add on imo.

Was supposed to ski Plattekill yesterday and I did drive over and get my season pass, but Upper Face was not open so it was green and blues only. Drove back to Belle and skied instead a lot more open. Turned out to be a great day Belle blew a lot of snow and there was LES all day.

Gonna try Platty again tomorrow.

You are my hero, way to get after it with less than stellar early conditions. Of course, being retired helps.

Well, somebody has to do it.
