Schif Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 I won't start a whole new thread for this, but Here is the final TR for the Montage 2013/2014 Season 3/23/14 Montage Mountain Resort 35 degrees Windy Some sun, some clouds Today was the last day of the year so I sucked it up and headed up to Montage around 1pm. I wanted to give it some time to soften up in the sun before I took my shoulder out for the first time in 2 weeks. Since I was feeling uneasy I took my first run up the Shuttle Lift and down Mainline. I was going very slow to see how it would feel. No pain, the nice thing about snowboarding I guess is that you don't need to use your arms much. Conditions were typical reconstituted freeze/thaw corn over ice. Coverage was fantastic though. Trails were edge to edge and fairly deep still. At the end of the run I cruised across the base area and stopped to tie a bandanna around my neck because it was freezing out there. I was planning on just wearing a sweatshirt, but in the parking lot I ended up throwing on a down mid layer jacket, and my exposed neck was stinging after one run out there. So I headed down Lower Runaway from the base area, and conditions were the same as up top down there. Heavy traffic areas were a little slick, but not too bad. Next Run was down Cannonball, where conditions were more of the same. I cruised the diamonds (didn't touch the doubles today) and lightning looked a little slick, I didn't see anyone on it the whole time I was there. I left after about 2 hours of solo slow cruising around the mountain. The Lot was about 1/4 full, and there were some day tickets in the crowd, not just Passholders. I debooted and drank a beer in the lot as I looked around and reflected on the first season of the all new Montage. I poured a little of the beverage out in the gravel that I know so well, and headed home. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackbiker Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Thanks for the report. Too bad they're closing so early. I still have one WNEP ticket I never got to use. Looking forward to seeing what improvements the new owners make for next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
