Good Christmas conditions at Roundtop

[volklyokel]

Just got back in from a fine afternoon and early evening of packed powder skiing at RT. No crowds, happy lift ops, a few families (and a good number of foreigners, and I mean non-English speaking foreigners, but they were cordial) - all was good. Carving was a blast--just lay it over and push, edges would grip and you'd get thrown into the next turn. Just awesome. The snow machines were blasting all day with temps below freezing. Fun stuff.

 

I really thought it wouldn't be that good given all the rain we had a couple of days ago. Two blacks were open today. No double blacks yet. Management hopes to open another blue and a green tomorrow. If so, they'll have about 65-70% of the trails open.

 

I really give them high marks for their efforts, considering that Mother Nature hasn't helped much down here, yet. It really pisses me off that Ohio gets two feet of snow and, crikey, they don't have squat for ski hills.
