Session | Full Day |
|
Ticket Type | Season Pass |
|
Lift Lines | 1 to 2 minutes |
|
Trail Conditions | 35% open; Powder, Frozen Granular |
|
Glades | Glades are not open and it will still take more snow to open the steeper glades. However, I noticed tracks into Moose Alley, and was eager to ride in a glade as I was not able to ride any glades last season due to a broken leg so I eagerly jumped in. Only bottomed out twice - better than many of the open glades I've been in at other Resorts in past years. Doesn't need much snow to be fun in there - really nice pow!!! |
|
Moguls | formed at edges of trails |
|
Terrain Park(s) | one open but I didn't venture in |
|
Run of the Day | Lower Ridge - had LOTS of fresh powder that was ungroomed along the edges (skier's right) to play in |

Comments | IT was really nice that the Spear Mountain Quad was open as well as the Flying Yankee trail. Unfortunately, something dripped on my pants from the lift and I saw it on other people's pants too. It came out in the wash so no harm done. I think it had something to do with the grips as this was the first day it was open since last year.
Anyway, absolutely TERRIFIC conditions today - all fresh powder on a good edgeable base. Super fun to have the Barn to Be Wild barn open - nice little piggies in there to see as you ski through it - I always try to swing through the barn once per visit. Plus, it's fun to see the people learning to ski and ride on the beginner terrain.
I skinned up twice for my cardio and enjoyed both skiing and riding the newly opened trails today. |
