day 5. 12/30 - cannon

big kudos to cannon for their crowd management. today was 'sold out' and a holiday week and i never waited longer than 3 minutes. the place is in great shape considering the weather lately. vista way was ungrommed with soft bumps. hardscrabble was closed but the top half was awesome with only 2 other tracks down before me. bottom half was thwacky.

waterville tmrw for a half day. never been.

day6 - 12/31 - waterville

first time visitor. i am surprised waterville is on indy because it seems to draw a huge crowd of Massachusetts families without the indy boost, tho today is a holiday. seems to be a ton of condos and stuff nearby in the 'village'. not enough terrain to give it a fair judgment today, but the crowds showed up big around 9:30 and i called it at about 10:30 after 2.5 hours and 15k vert. in my opinion, it was undergroomed given the low snow so far this season and the freeze thaw yesterday. nothing i skied was particularly pleasant. i attribute the undergrooming to staffing. also, i don't know the place well but seems to me there was enough snow to have the secondary lifts open (today was just the 'summit' hsq and the mid mountain lift to the left of it)

+ 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.

1. 12/5/21 - Pats Peak. Opening weekend and my first time here.
2. 12/24/21 - Pats Peak. Considerably more terrain open. Small place still but enjoyed myself a lot more just cruising longer greens with my wife.
3. 12/31/21 - Waterville Valley. Warm, foggy, slushy. The snow was actually pretty decent.
4. 1/1/22 - Waterville Valley. Rainy, warm. foggy, slushy. Would've stayed longer but my crew wanted to leave early. Snow was not bad.

Decided to pull the trigger on a Pats Peak pass since my wife and I can get young adult rates and she enjoys it as a beginner.
