PowderBeard Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 1 hour ago, bch2014 said: Skied Pats Peak this afternoon for a couple hours... Pretty icy with a layer of granular sugar on top, but still had fun. The amount of snow they have blown (especially given their southern location) is incredible. Deep, deep base depths on all open trails (they're about 60% open) with the guns roaring on the trails that are still closed. Very impressed-hadn't skied there since 2013 (and probably won't again for awhile-I just had a Indy Pass ticket so there was no incremental cost), but what a great showing they're putting on. The pictures I see in reports from Pat's always show some nice looking bump runs for southern New England and a short drive. Been wanting to check it out for years.

powderfreak Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 This is insanity. Crested Butte, CO’s snow cam. This morning. And then 5 hours later. Still hammering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowgeek Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Killington was fun today. No lines. Lots open but conditions were pretty variable. Some nice packed powder but plenty of good ole eastern ice. Still a great day. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we debate inches they're doing it in feet over there. For Kirkwood... Thats frackin ridiculous. Even snowblowers would be challenged by all that snow. Probably well over 15 feet of fresh snow, windpacked too, in ONLY 7 days! Better have top shelf snowshoes or else a strong strong lodge and plenty of stocked food and water. I'd be very concerned about cornices building and avalanching hazards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain ops are gonna be tricky. bump. Obscene goings on out in Tahoe.

MarkO Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Skied Cannon yesterday. Lift lines weren't bad considering it's a holiday week. They limited ticket sales. Conditions were pretty good as well. Skied Vista on natural snow. If they could muster another 6" or so, they might be able to open more natural terrain.

PowderBeard Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Any updates from Attitash? Looks like pitchforks are coming out on their FB page. Apparently only the Summit Triple yesterday, hour wait in line, then it broke down and people were stuck on it for another 30-45 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowderBeard Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Noticed some play in the heel piece of a binding on my mogul/hard pack skis, damn bolt is backing right out.

If they could muster another 6" or so, they might be able to open more natural terrain. Vista Way is one of my absolute favorite trails in all of NE. Maybe a combination of the views and the terrain but it never gets old. I saw it was open on the trail report and thought 'ouch' - there are a lot of rocks and given its exposure, lot of snow gets blown off especially on the right side. I've definitely hit a few things on it over the years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the frozen washboard track quote. Way too much of that this year. I feel like most trails in the northeast right now are basically 18" of ice. The west is stealing our snow!!!

My son just headed back to Boulder. What's crazy about this season is how little snow Denver / Boulder area has gotten. Denver is at .3" for the year!

QCD17 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 We were at Bromley Mon-Wed. We always come up this week and the snow is usually disappointing this early in the season, but it was fine. Pretty soft snow, which helped because it's not getting pushed off the trail as easily. But there are plenty of ice patches. We are going back Friday, then it looks like rain off and on this weekend.

Depends on where, rode Stratton tues/weds and with minimal trails open it got dicey quickly with ice and Moguls. Driving back currently from sugar bush where it was much much better. Still limited terrain but conditions were so much better overall with limited ice and much more snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 ouch at crotched. this is very unfortunate... As a result of these challenges, we have made the difficult decision to amend our schedule of operations to Wednesday through Sunday, beginning January 1, with the following hours: Wed. 9-5; Thurs-Sat. 9-9; Sun. 9-5. This change to a five-day schedule will allow our hard-working resort teams to better focus on delivering the best possible ski and ride experience for our guests on those days.

bch2014 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Crotched should be ashamed of itself-as I mentioned-I skied Pats (their biggest competitor) last week and it had deep coverage all over the mountain and was seemingly well-staffed.

MRVexpat Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Up in the NEK. Skinned up Burke yesterday and things looked and skied decently well! Natural trails looked like they could even be carefully navigated up high. First time making turns on this hill and shocked at the minimal crowds this time of year. Otherwise it's definitely a wintry look around here. 6-8" pack when we got here a few days ago has condensed a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
