Get on some wide skis and go fast and use a lot of power in your turns and you should be just fine getting through the mashed potatoes..in a typical warmer ski season you're gonna encounter spring conditions a lot so might as well work on your mashed potato skiing. Get forward and power through them.

Felt good to get on the XC skis again!....Snow was pretty easy to break trail through....Could get a nice kick/glide once I looped around to my tracks....

@saltyant after this monsoon, there will be plenty of water in the snowmaking ponds…remember the snowmaking that has occurred so far was just a test..it was only a test..

The fabled and ill-fated post Thanksgiving day opening is dead. Press F to pay respects. Never forget. Always remember. Nonetheless, a shopping mall filled with glorious freshly blown perder awaits only miles from the western shore of the Hudson River for skiers and snowbladers of all ages and abilities to participate in exhilarating winter sports and rip down the artificially graded slopes that are surrounded by the hussle and bustle of city folk consuming the products in nearby retail establishments.

I would not recommend a Holiday Weekend at Big Snow unfortunately.  Any normal midweek day is JADIP.  Bellayre would be the play for this Friday for anyone who must make turns nearby.

The fresh perder on holiday weekends would be tracked up faster than when they let pros like Shaun White and Wayne Gretzky in before opening hours!

God love 'em, the snow cone machine is still out there spittin' like @GrilledSteezeSandwich when the karaoke machine comes out.

They really know their market, bar for the parents up top and some kind of snow for the daycare. Half the parents of Montgo drop their kids off after school and pick them up when it closes. 

 

I'd bet they do way better weekday numbers than Blue particularly in liquor sales where you can actually make money.

WJW, won't you just stand in line for 2 hours? If I go it'll be on Saturday.

I doubt it at opening.  I made the mistake of going on a less popular holiday monday once and it wasn't the worst.  Saturday will be busier I would image, I've never gone on a weekend.  If your just testing gear though, who cares it is legit snow on a legit little slope.

Do you work overnight shift and then ski after work? 

Yes sir sometimes, that's what I did every Sunday you saw me last season.  Most weekdays I sleep for a few hours and get to the hill a few hours before the school kids.

What's it like in the big snow? Is it super cold? Should I dress like a cosmonaut? Will there be ice which is nice? Should I wear a face diaper?

It will be 28 degrees steady with no breeze, dress accordingly.  The snow as has been described to me but I cannot say from personal experience very much like typical west coast packed powder groomers.  Ice never really forms the temperature is to steady, the snow is always dry and soft.
