C1erArt Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Got in at 8:30 and still pretty quiet. Warm, 38 T the mountain (was 27 at home near Blue mountain). Sunny, light wind blowing down the hill. Just got back from a few days at Mt Snow (kids have the Peak Resorts college pass so they ski 'free'). Nice long hill, but still only half open, with only a few bumps. Top of Challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C1erArt Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Over on East Mountain. . River shot slope is open but the lower headwall is a little choppy Some snow on elevator, and elevator glade looks pretty good. Haven't seen a whole lot of clearing out work on risk it, the upper section just above the drop seems to be a little more open. But I don't think any trees were removed on the landing.

C1erArt Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Did my obligatory yearly run of e-glade (that's not me). C-glade is nice - a little chunky but bumps are manageable. Think they cleared some trees on the cross over from the glade to the e-mtn chairlift trail, but no where enough sno to get down it. Below the race finish shack is a little thin but skiable if you don't worry about your bases too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillycore Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 that one tree on risk it is always a deterrent... Good thing in some cases bad in others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C1erArt Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Haven't started at all on Floyds yet, weather doesn't look too agreeable for a lot of snowmaking in the near future. Having Rivershot open takes some pressure off Challenge and T-Bolt though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFskiDan Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 E-glade was really nice. Elevator was nice on the top and the side closest to the E-glade, provided you dont mind skiing over some stickers there was a nice thin layer of powder there. The baller route was really hard packed manmade. softened up a little around 10:30. Challenge glade was nice, but just like C1 said, a little thin down by the lift. not quite top to bottom, but a huge improvement over last week. its probably 85%. Props to the snowmakers and groomers. Both E-glade and Elevator had good coverage, and there werent any huge snow boulders rolled in there like last year. Crowds got a little too heavy for me at just after 11. Really good snow day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
