TFTI...got meetings all afternoon tomorrow unfortunately so I can't make it

I'll be there one of the days...for tubing

Boner city, all of it Looks like an incredible day

Some other saddleback pics. Had a run in with a pine tree. Saddleback is a really awesome place, unfortunately the stuff off the top like Casablanca never opened. Apparently the traverse is super sketchy so when its icy, they shut it down. Favorite day was Burke, maybe because I didn't know what to expect, but the snow and trails were awesome

I don't keep stats but thanks TP4. Black mountain is hilariously bad. On a powder day its probably awesome. Side hits, drops, and plenty of trees. Anything ungroomed is either ice or massive chunks. The hike to stuff looks cool but the lifty said it's not skiing well right now. Couple of the groomers are decent. Probably ride another half hour and head out, lift closes at 3 45

I'll post some additional pictures later from saddleback. At Black mountain now. Can't redeem 2 indy passes in one day but lift ticket was only $ 25

Bunch of pics from last hour...professor still awesome. Glades off of that...

Hit some more groomers, getting a beer now. May leave at like 1 30 if nothing else opens and hit Black mountain of Maine for a few runs

Nightmare glade and intimidator glade again. Nightmare runs into a trail called green weaver. Nightmare green weaver, sounds familiar

Thrombosis glade. Snow in the trees isn't bad. A little crusty but not icy

Grabbed first chair with a few other indy passers. Natural snow trail was pretty crusty. Pretty cold today. Groomers are fantastic though. Stuff off kennebago is still closed but hopefully will open later. I'd imagine its pretty slick right now but should soften hopefully

Ate dinner at the pickford pub at loon lodge inn...Terrible pic but had duck breast and a marsh island ipa. Then a dark and stormy that was pretty much a pint glass of rum...maple ginger creme brulee for dessert (didn't take a pic). Great food and really cool place

Finished off the day with a run down woolly bugger glades. Only rated a single black diamond but craziest glades of the day. They start off mild pitch but tight trees... But then... ends relatively flat and you can cut right or left to get to another trail (can probably keep going too) After that, I saw an untouched cut to one of the condos...not the one I'm staying in, but do I hit it anyway and walk back to the next trail? Back at the condo now, probably go to dinner in an hour or so

Ok now its getting good. They dropped the ropes on Professor. Unfortunately spilled my beer on the unexpected drop

Been snowing since like 11 so hopefully tomorrow will be even better. I'm pretty surprised at how nice the groomers were this morning. If visibility wasn't awful, it would have been even better

Thai chicken pizza and a Boothbay ipa. The pizza is awesome

Hopefully I'll at least get to check it out tomorrow That traverse and high line traverse are both closed. Cut through the glades and hit the lift line and one other trail. Gonna go get lunch and go back out.

Intimidator glade. Much better snow, well spaced trees. Still not much open off kennebago lift, really hoping to hit Casablanca glade. You can also hike above treeline so may do that tomorrow

Upper and lower Peachys Peril (I think). Getting choppy after 3 runs on it but still a lot of fun

Glades and trails off the Kennebago lift are pretty much all closed. Hopefully they'll open later. Trail report says everything is open so maybe just delayed opening

Pleasantly surprised with my first run. Groomer was smooth slightly frozen cord...ungroomed intermediate was kinda dense powder but fun

The steps might be more challenging than the slopes today

Not sure how conditions at Saddleback will be today. Super windy so some stuff may be slick, but trees should be great. Tomorrow should be good, supposed to be another few inches through tonight and tomorrow will be sunny and less windy Condo is pretty nice. Two extra beds upstairs if anyone wants to make the trip (doubt it but just putting it out there)
