	Comments	Mount Sunapee was very crowded today. All major lifts had a wait of 4 to 8 minutes for a good portion of the day and all lodges were packed. Conditions were packed powder with some ice underneath and some powder on the sides of trails. Most trails and glades were open, but there were a good amount of exposed rocks and logs in the glades. Temperatures were in the teens and low twenties throughout the day. Low clouds gave way to partly sunny skies and eventually some undercast. Sunapee is one of the better areas within a two hour radius of Boston, but still doesn't have much that stands out to me. There isn't very much variety in the terrain and nothing there is very challenging for an advanced skier. Crowds are often an issues, but that can be expected for a ski area close to large cities. North Peak is the best place to avoid crowds mid-day and Sunbowl is often less crowded than the Sunapee Express. When it's open I highly recommend the Williamson Trail in Sunbowl as a nice long and narrow cruiser. Because of the fact that they can only be accessed via a triple or uphill traverse I recommend the trails off North Peak to avoid the mobs often found on many of the trails.
