snowgeek Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 From my friends at Gore. “Traffic to gore was backed up for miles. We left here at 730 and at 10 we were still miles from the mountain - barely moving. Friend who was there said it was packed on the trails/lifts so we turned around.”Shoulda been 1:20 to Gore. Yikes. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowgeek Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Had a great day at Royal Mtn. No lift lines. About 5” Thu and 7” yesterday. They’re closed midweek, so snow was great. In the morning the cord on the groomed trails was the softest I’ve ever skied. Got 25 runs in. Only 500 vertical lol. Great day overall. Royal has some great lift line skiing and tree skiing but there wasn’t quite enough snow and they had trees and branches down in the woods everywhere from the last ice storm. Bummer? But great day overall!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCWarrior Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Great night at Berkshire East last night. Ripping snow the whole time. Every run down we got fresh tracks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Much better than expected at Cannon today. They have done a good job recovering from last weekend. The front 5 part of mountain was being pounded by snow making to point it was nearly impossible to ski due to visibility. First day on downhill skis - felt good.

I was shocked to see them listing lower liftline as open with snowmaking. I know they have done it before but I didn't think they did it often.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 B’East folks did a damn fine job making that mountain enjoyable today! Once again, a little rain in the forecast kept folks away but conditions were great through the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a classic old-school New England mountain and when it is wide open it is super fun! Wachuesett has more trails (and is fantastic) but B’East has more vertical and glades if we can actually get them open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasingFlakes Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Wildcat was nice yesterday morning but once the top layer of dry snow was sloughed off it was a bit icy underneath. They need more snow to open more terrain. Attitash today was pretty good too. A little crowded but manageable, snow was heavier than wildcat. Flurried for a bit around noon. Was raining/freezing rain when we left at 430 and it was snowing at 1900ft going through pinkhams notch at 31f. Id love to hit up cannon tomorrow but my buddy is tied to the peak pass... and we're saving Jay for Monday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCWarrior Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Skied Magic on Friday. Place was dead And they had pretty limited terrain. Groomers were in very nice shape though. Had a great BLT at the Black Line Tavern. We drove to Pico only to find crazy lift lines and windholds. They mentioned if they were still on hold by 11 we could ski Killington but judging by the crowds we decided to not bother skiing at all. Pretty disappointed but the hot tub felt pretty good regardless. Ski resorts badly need some snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah man Jay will be nice tomorrow. 6z NAM has over a foot through tomorrow afternoon here. Already around 7 inches from this storm, but it's very localized. Wildcat was ok today, 3-5 of mashed potatoes with a tenth of ice on top. Towards the afternoon it softened up but we left a bit early. Last night's sleet storm in the valley north of mt washington was insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowgeek Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Great day at Gore. 4-5” of soft snow. Some natural snow trails were open and skied well. Even skied a few nice glades. Blues had silky packed powder. Blacks were nice in the morning, then the ugly ice underneath started to appear by afternoon. Great day but as you all have said, need a big dump!!!.

Last year we had someone under the influence try to go up and get stuck axle deep next to the Mountain Ops building. I saw two cars stuck on New Years morning trying to go up the Cat Road here. One made it all the way to the bridge before starting the climb to Spruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic is the only bar I know with a ski area! This guy enjoyed the BLT a little too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarloaf1989 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I skied at Mohawk Mountain today with my son. Beautiful bluebird sunshine with the temperature right around 32F. Suprisingly snowmaking was ongoing all day long on unopened trails. It was a mix of groomed granular and some packed powder on Wildwood which had snowmaking on it last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
