Comments | Took advantage of the discounted day ticket price and was pleasantly surprised with excellent surface conditions. Loose granular in the morning with some spring snow in the sun early in the afternoon. The southern trails are just about toast with some dirt/rocks poking up in a few stress points. Easy Street/Schneider/Artist Falls open from the top with lots of combinations at the bottom. The very top and very bottom of the access to the front trails is narrow and going quickly, but there was still good base the actual trails/steeps. Hurricane was a larger granular with some golf balls, whilst Middle to Competition Slope was good loose granular. Ledges was closed, but one could cross over below it and take North Slope (only one cat width wide, but okay) and the Alley (good spring snow). Alberg, Skimeister, and Kandahar were open top to bottom with a few stress points, but otherwise good going. Bandit cross over was also open. The high speed quad was the only lift running today (ski-on). In part due to that, I think this is the most I've ever enjoyed Cranmore, as the base area was not congested with folks going to other lifts/lessons/etc., so the whole mountain was generally skiable from the one lift (the flat runouts at the base were still vexing, but not as bad). Great Presidential views helped as well. |
