Woof. Not a good day. For a Friday the trails felt packed and skied off in an hour or two. The offering off North Peak is laughable heading into Xmas break. Everyone getting funneled down Sunset with a terrain Park taking up half the width is quite the option. How hard would it be to blow on Upper WB to complete that run? At least they are working on South.


7. 12/21/24 Waterville Valley

Night and Day difference to Loon the day prior. Surprisingly not too busy. Gema and Ciao were “unofficially open” and the trails of the day. Untouched powder pockets could be found on them all day. Lapped them pretty much all day.

Agree, yesterday at loon was lousy, today at cannon was spectacular - the lightest snow you will find in NH, knee deep in spots.

Tomorrow should be day #30.

Today was my last Sunday at work thankfully. Hopefully can start getting some days in soon. Maybe I can sneak off to Mt Sunapee on Christmas morning for a few runs, under a 1.5 hrs from inlaws house.

It snowed a bit more on Friday and the conditions were very good. More trails came online. 80% open now. And as much as I'm a bit tired of skiing there the conditions have been excellent. They got another 4" Friday night wish I could have gone yesterday.

11/29 - killington (powder day!)
11/30 - waterville
12/07 - killington (powder day!)
12/08 - stratton
12/14 - stratton
12/15 - stratton

12/22 - sugarbush (powder day!) - I’m giving it the powder day tag. 2” of fresh snow, but castlerock open for hiking on total untouched/untracked. Also the first full proper day of HG operation so just a ton of snow up high

12/23 - mt ellen - Great day! Trails beautiful chalky packed powder. Great powder to be found in the woods. And it’s gonna snow tonight!

Madbush falls is nice but there are no tvs. That’s fine but if I didn’t bring my laptop I’d be real bored
