bwt3650 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 What a needed refresh this was up at jay..it was almost unskiable earlier in the week, but it’s just enough packed powder today. They dropped a ton of ropes even in the glades. Awesome out there and it looks like we could get a good upslope dumping in the next few days. I would guess stowe is much improved as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bch2014 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Anyone skied Hunter lately? Debating whether I want to drive up from the city in the AM to get some NYD turns in (I have the Peak Pass). Obviously expecting lots of ice/scratch but want to make sure trails are well covered...

mcglups Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Cannon today. Good conditions, still a solid layer of hard stuff underneath, we need a good dump of natural snow or less rain. Overall, a good day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think coverage is fine..was there last week and they had blown a TON of snow during that cold few days..might be icy; not sure how they got thru yesterday but the coverage was there.

bwt3650 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Another 6-8 out here at jay. Friggin awesome out here. Dropped ropes on almost the whole mountain and the woods are sick. Tram went on wind hold at lunchtime, but the freezer is still spinning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amarshall Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Great day at loon today. Crowds were manageable. Soft snow. Probably 1/2" new today Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongBeachSurfFreak Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I had one of my favorite mornings at Stratton of all time yesterday. I made sure to be there for first chair and had the place to myself until about 10 when everyone started showing up after New Years party’s. The 2” of sleet and ice had filled in gaps and 6” of snow over the following two days made for deceptively great conditions. Obviously it wasn’t enough to call it epic as it gets beat hard by afternoon. But for that golden 1.5 hours it was truly special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amarshall Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Bretton woods was fantastic today. They're claiming 4" yesterday. Not a hint of ice. No crowds. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I skied at Butternut today with my son. It was firm but edgeable groomer. The area received quite a bit of freezing rain earlier in the week. It wasn't really crowded with minimal waiting at lifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s ironic because they had the earliest opening ever due to good temperatures in November and a great start to December and now January is the meh’ month. Luckily the Greenfield recreation department ski program will give us a rain check if tomorrow is lousy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't maintain my balance when loading the lift. I'm going to get in a few days at Sundown, strengthen my legs and try skiing there again in Late January.

Southshorewx Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Any guesses if sunapee holds out tomorrow and stays mostly frozen? Dont really care if its pingers as long as it's not pouring rain. Want to get one more day in before breckenridge next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Pure butter (or buttah as they say) this morning with above freezing temps and thick high ratio snow groomed out... I love this surface condition. GP crushing it down Gondolier today. 3-6" or 4-7" type event coming up for the hill from noon Saturday to noon Sunday IMO.

Lots of new Terrain in the past 5 years-Peak 6 and 7 are great, your ticket is also good at Vail, Beaver Creek Keystone and A-Basin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locally it was already worth the price but $189 a day at breck is just crazy. I really like copper and wish it made it onto the epic pass this year.

EMontpelierWhiteout Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Despite tough lift lines with gondola down this morning, some nice skiing at Stowe today. Was snowing moderately all morning, and icier natural snow trails had filled in nicely between the bumps. Lots of soft turns mixed in with occasional scrape.
