RidgeRacer Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Covered with pow [emoji23]Ummm hello. We're talking about Hunter mountain here...where the snow falls like petals from a flower in the spring time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) It was indeed remarkable to find a powder covered slope at Hunter. That is why I remarked, and why I skied it 7 times in a row. Helped that it was an unannounced season opening of an ungroomed trail that has gotten over 3 feet of natural snow in the last 2 weeks on top of a snow making assist.

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 (edited) Looking forward to skiing Snow, Okemo, Attitash, Wildcat and maybe Crotched on 5-6 of the next 8 days. Think I will do Mt. Snow tomorrow. Got a place in Brattleboro starting tonight.

Only thing I can think of is rental equipment and helmet rental on file, but not on when the incident occurred and sp showed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) Did Mt. Snow on Wed and Okemo on Thurs. Conditions at Okemo were great. Mt. Snow not so much. Only a couple trails (Ridge, Long John and double black Rip Cord) had a surface to sink ones skis in. The rest were hard pack and/or icy. Likely going back to Okemo with kids next week rather than going to Northern NH, as it seems the snow coverage is less good up there. Could still give Crotched or Sunnapee a try one of the days too.

It is no coincidence I include so many great singers. I am glad you agree they add nicely. I aim to let them shine not to spotlight myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter had the Epic conditions on Lower K27 last weekend, as noted above. More natural snow in Catskills than in New England (or PA, of course) this year.

poconoceancity Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 Frost has been OK. The quad still isn’t running, so that’s been an inconvenience. However it’s keeping challenge empty with good conditions all day. From what I can see $0 in improvements have been made this season. I’ve been riding in the morning and drinking in the afternoon, so it’s all good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i'm kidding when i say that. Big Boulder has 1/2 of the trails open as of today. That is probably indicative of Vails commitment to the 5 PA resorts. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
