#NoPoles Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I picked that date cause we'll definitely get more white stuff, and i bet that the mountain will be 100% open, with the natural stuff skiing great. You know, places like the woods where I don't typically venture..... well this worked out great! Lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 No specials (other than for home school kids) on Tuesday at Berkshire East... but $38 is still pretty good. They are at 26 trails, 4 lifts today. Most of the closed ones are natural snow/glades anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Wouldn't mind taking a few runs with you to help get you out of the snowplow, but fresh snow could make that difficult. We'll try, though!

Debating on cannon long ride. dying to ski Cannon...i saw a picture of the Trail Taft Slalom and ever since then I have to go and ski it...weird fixation...but Taft Slalom hasn't been open since the torch...I check the trail map every few days to see if the status has changed...it was still closed a few days ago...however you just reminded me to go check again...i don't think it will ever open if we torch again and then continue with the pattern of not getting any natural snow... edit to add just checked the trail report and Taft Slalom is still closed...

Wachusett looking/skiing better, despite no real snow lately now that is a thing of beauty!!! still have two free lift ticket coupons to WaWa...trying to convince my sister to ski with me...but she works full time and has 3 kids (and a husband) i don't think free personal time is in her vocabulary anymore...

free_man Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Ski resorts would like some natural snow before June. Heading to NH Sunday. Should ski nice I think. Debating on cannon long ride. Not sure Cannon is worth the ride. I was heading up there next weekend but postponed. Wildcat's probably a better option, jmo. As for cannon, there's nothing more frustrating than Avalanche and Paulies Folley being sheer ice and rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

free_man Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 wildcat can also be cold as all hell (windy as a mutha). i've wanted to try waterville valley If Wildcat's cold and windy, Cannon surely is. lol Waterville isn't too challenging (agree with Dave) and it's a bit closer, but I've always been let down skiing there so it's usually my last option.

powderfreak Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 A nice Saturday on the mountain. Despite some of the lowest January snowfall in the last 10-15 years, (about 40% of normal), conditions remain surprisingly good. Modern snowmaking and grooming is a beautiful thing.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Trying to hit 8 different mountains this winter. Up to 5 now, we hit Sunapee today. My first trip there. Hard to beat the 2 for 1 deal with kids. Little bit of a bummer as a lift malfunction had the snowbowl quad closed. Spent the day up on the express lift skiing upper blast off and the trails around it and down to the left, Upper Hansen, Upper Flying Goose and Goosebumps. Lynx was being used for a race, Upper was as well but everyone was running under the ropes as the public race was over early. Switched back across later to ski with the youngster, she's now running top to bottom and had no problems with Upper Ridge and later Bonanza to Chipmunk. The views from the top are stellar. Lift lines were probably longer than normal because of the snowbowl being closed. I really liked the place. The trails aren't terribly difficult aside of Goosebumps but I really enjoyed them. Middle of the road, long trails with bumps scattered throughout to keep you on your toes. The blues like Ridge....much easier than say American Express or Risky Business at SR, but that's the name of the game. Outstanding fun for the little ones. A place I'd definitely go back to again. The quality of the snow considering it was all manmade was excellent. There's very little snow anywhere from the Cape to Sunapee. Whatever it is about the location etc...not nearly as scratchy as SR has been both times (NYE and last weekend). The snow was definitely slower too. One of the more enjoyable times I've had, perfect really for families. Great place to start the little ones and stretch the legs with the advancing skiers. We put about 20 miles under the skis today per Navionics Ski which is a killer app. Not only does it track your speed, times, etc, but it also has the built in trail maps and overlays your course throughout the day right on the map. Good stuff. Next up probably Okemo. Looking at it today from Sunapee definitely want to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
