3/18/07 CB great conditions


Timeless

Recommended Posts

Just got back from CB, great conditions today, the fresh snow from Friday still giving a great top surface and didn't really deteriorate much through the day.

 

Liftlines were quite bad and for some reason they didn't open any of the quieter "back up" lifts like the marc anthony or glen lifts, but whatever, it was a great day today.

 

Coverage is still good, temps for the next week don't look too threatening, could they make it to April?

The mountain was a little more beat up than I expected from this report. There were plenty of bumps everywhere, and some hardpack patches in all the usual spots before the sun went down. When things got cooler the mountain firmed up a little, but there was plenty of soft stuff in the bumpier areas. Pretty good but not fantastic. I'm going to do my best to get out tomorrow morning at around 10 to get some of this snow after a good grooming.

Also when I first arrived every chair I was on someone slammed the bar down either hitting or nearly hitting me in the head. No warning, not even time to get situated in the chair. At least it's just an annoyance since I wear a helmet.

We left a little after 3pm and there were fairly long liftlines, maybe the traffic and the afternoon sun took it's toll.

 

Sorry for getting your hopes up, it should be good again today after a grooming.

No worries. I still had a blast. There were about 10 plastic bottles littered all over nile so I set them up as bonks on a couple of the birms on the sides of the trail. Trucking through the bumpier stuff is a good time though, I was just expecting something a little different based on the report. The bigger issue I was worried about was the lift lines, but when I got there they weren't that long, and at most I waited for 5 chairs.
