Just Jeff and I that I saw this morning. Nice conditions on Razors and TCS, bulletproof and flat. Marbles on Challenge. NM/DW and lower Paradise in good shape. Lazy and Main got pretty soft and cut up fairly quickly. Lot of skid marks on Main. Chute and Midway had a lot of uneven groomer marks but still skiable. Hopefully not much rain before the snow.

They do seem to be ignoring TCS. I’ve had my ptex gun out more than once, but I think it was mainly lower Paradise and Barbs Way before they took the features down.

Heard someone say the way people were parking there, the ambulances couldn’t get in.

He flew right over my house.

Right side of free fall surprisingly nice.

Going to try and do the alpine loop this summer, over engineer pass.

Jeep all terrain tires can be a little slippery in snow. I get nervous taking the camper over the million dollar highway even in summer. Can’t imagine it in winter.

Nice conditions today, almost as good as yesterday. Freefall was a little marbley, Paradise very good first thing - the bottom got marbley later, NMDW was excellent all morning, apparently they are spraying urea on Razors to harden it up (not many people on it), Challenge was excellent, Lazy good, Main St was soft on top and marbles below Midway but very skiable. The limejacket group had Curzi’s Cabin closed. Making a lot of progress on Switchback, just getting started on upper Sidewinder. A lot of lesson groups and, I think, PSIA certification going on. A really good day.

Was over there this afternoon with the DW, and the ski patrol bathrooms are boarded up. 😩 Telstar and Solitude look like the whales are almost ready to push out. Floyd’s has a ways to go. Couple of guys riding ski bikes on One Park.

There are bathrooms next to the ski patrol building at the bottom of one park. Be nice if there were something over on East mountain. Also larger bathrooms across from the courtesy desk where I would change.

Several ski bikes in the terrain park to. I wasn’t fast enough to get photos.

Just Rivershot. Solitude, Telstar and Floyd’s still closed.

Another nice morning at Frost. About 33 and light snow when I got there. Sad remains of elevator glade. Floyds

All slopes were very carveable all morning, probably until closing. Be out tomorrow afternoon with the DW, hopefully.

50.7 going down the final drop of Rivershot. Long flat runout afterwards. They don’t have the race pressure to open Floyd’s.

Couple of hours this morning at Frost. 33 when I got there, 37 when I left. Most of the time on east mountain. Still a long ways to get Floyd’s open, but they are trying. Exhibition open. They widened the bottom headwall of River Shot by pushing snow off to the right. Slopes are in great shape, very firm with a little soft stuff on top. Nothing off piste. Holding up well when I left. Top speed almost 15 mph faster than yesterday at that other mountain. Started not having an empty slope in front of me about 11. First trips on new east mountain lift. Still as slow as before. Not running Tbolt lift weekdays.

First 3 runs today were great. Then things got really chopped up (34 degrees, very light mist, a little foggy on top). Chunky on top, soft lower down (can I say that on a public forum?). A lot of work to ski it. They removed the features on Barb’s way, hopefully going to blow some snow on it. They blew a little snow last night on switchback. They closed freefall a little after opening. Initial conditions were much better groomed than yesterday.

If you haven’t been in the local ER, you really haven’t skied an area

Probably over did it yesterday.

Out for an hour this morning. Tried to find a decent slope. Freefall and DW/NM wasn’t awful, but then you had the sugar on Paradise to deal with. Best slope was the Falls. Groomers ripped up Razors. Definitely wasn’t feeling the love this morning.

Deserted compared to last Monday. Light pretty flat early, better later. Strong wind blowing uphill most runs, better on NM/DW. All slopes very firm but not icy. Fresh edges on the RTMs helped. Razors closed until about 10:30. Widowmaker closed for gate practice. Main St. In great shape, none of the loose stuff to bother you. 19 runs before noon and my legs still felt fresh.

Good day. Struggled a bit on the top razors headwall because of the rained over frozen groomer ruts in the fog. It was too bad because the rest of Razors was primo. Rock sticking out left center of flat part of TCS. Barb’s way really hit hard by the rain. Otherwise, things were good, especially top and bottom left of Main St. Widowmaker and Lazy were also in good shape. Fog on top never lifted by the time I left at 11. I think the first two buses were from the Cumberland Valley school system. They came up to Little Gap and turned in at the covered bridge inn to go over the stream on the covered bridge. Took a while for them to turn around and come back out to the cut over near the fairgrounds.

Today was nice. Light mist turned to light rain by the time I left at 11. Everything was in really good shape, hero snow. They closed razorback, and the lower part of razors for slalom practice, so you had to exit at the crossover to Falls. Lazy, Main St., Widowmaker, were in really good shape, they got a little soft, but never snow piles or slushy. The only complaint was that the right side of lower main had a lot of groomer bumps, and that’s where I skied to avoid the schussboomers coming down from Midway along the left side which was a lot smoother. Summit lift had some problems off and on, and the quad got a little crowded sometimes but not too bad. Slopes were pretty crowded by the time I left, but not as bad as yesterday. They desperately need another wide slope, like sidewinder, to open up to take some of the pressure off other slopes. All in all, one of the better days on the mountain. Switched from my RTMs to my Head Kores about 1030 and they handled the soft stuff a lot better.

Skied until about 11 when the lifts started backing up outside the gates. Summit wasn’t open when I left. Quad was particularly busy. Upper Razors got a little marbled, but once you reached above Razorback I could open up a little. Skipped TCS with a few runs on Main and Curzi’s. Saw JLaw having fun on lower Razors, but we were pretty much oppositely staggered. A lot of work done on the slopes and it shows.
