Spring Mountain 2-7-2024

I skied Spring Mountain last night more for the nostalgia than the skiing. I learned to ski there and try to get back once a year but it's been a few years. Conditions were dust on crust but edge-able. Lift line on the west side was ski-on or a chair or two wait.

I had heard that they had an All Weather snowmaking system. This was the first time I saw it and it was blowing out "snow" at 45 degrees. I think it is essentially a sno cone machine inside that blows the shavings out onto the slopes. The production was low and it appears that it would take a long time to cover a slope.

When I left around 7:00 there were a lot of kids in well organized group lessons on the main slope. Good to see that they are doing well.

I was here last night with some friends.  Couldnt make it anywhere else after work because everywhere closes so early at 8 or 9 these days.  Snow was actually very nice surface all over and the snow cone machine was spitting snow out the tube all evening despite being 40s.  The base was thicker than expected even on the west side.  Not much of a line anywhere but it was fairly well patronized mostly with kids and the new ice rink seemed popular.  For 30 bucks the place is entertaining enough for a few hours with the west side open and it's a lot easier to drag your infrequently skiing friends there than to get them to drop $100+ elsewhere

 

Ya gotta be entertained with how the whole place seems straight out of the 70s too

Been a couple weeks. Been busy AF and it’s a lot harder for me to get to blue with limited time. Hoping to free up for March.
