No. Closest to cr chair open was heavens gate. Zero visibility on top by the way

Fun day with son #1. Tracked out pow and push piles were pretty much the conditions. Never been here, place is pretty big. Liked the way they only groomed a few trails. Legs are screaming. Amazingly, they were blowing a lot of snow high up, this after 22". Pic is of organ grinder I think. Pretty much what all the trails looked like. Picked up the quad pack so got a few more trips back. Blue tomorrow :-)

Better plan than mine. Family stuff has me tied up until Thursday. Leaving O-dark-thirty Thursday morning to hit killington, then driving up to Burlington after to meet son #1 who finishes his last exam that day. We will hit sugarbush Friday then head home. Glad I put the snow tires on [emoji12]

11/30/14....why isn't Burma chair running...warmer.
tarponhead replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in Blue Mountain
It won't sux. I have been going to whiteface over the Christmas break for the last 5 years. Not doing this year though cause of other reasons... Anyway, their mountain ops are awesome. I have always found a pod of trails that were in great shape. And the lower valley area is great fun for family/beginners. Occasionally in good snow making years the main summit will be open then. But most likely only little face will be open (still is ~2.5 k vert). The mountain run pod is were the 1980 slalom runs were set up. I could spend all day on that pod and still be smiling. If you have never been to WF at that time of year, don't go to the bottom unless for lunch or leaving. Everyone skis to the bottom...Just roll on the mid mountain lifts and lines will be minimal. 2 years ago the night before we went up they picked up ~15". Set us up for an awesome, albeit cold 3 days -
MBike-Mike don't need no stinking bump skis to ski bumps. He get at them with anything on his feet [emoji14]

What's left to ski locally this spring?
tarponhead replied to Ski2Live Live2Ski's topic in General Chat
Cool, did not know that. Platty always felt it was farther than what the map says for me
