Yeah hard to believe it was the same mountain today. Everything had beautiful conditions, every lift running, no lines, every trail and glade skiable. They seemed to have a "please poach" policy. Impressed my girls motivated early enough for us to be on the 17th chair. 

Their cafeteria food is definitely subpar though.

Beautifully clean roads all the way home. Made it door to door in 3.5 hrs.

Great timing! You really counted the 17th chair?

What time did you have to get in line for 17th chair? What did all y’all have from the cafeteria?  

[Ski2Live Live2Ski]

We were in line like 820-8:25 and lifts started at 830. Really nobody there at start of day. Got first tracks on trail we chose first. Roads were pretty hairy getting there. Was glad for SUV with new winter tires.

Sampled Chili (small, flavorless except too salty), Nachos (nothing but wiz), Grilled Cheese (small), Mozarella sticks (small), Soft pretzel (hot and fresh but too salty).

Redeeming order was onion rings which were some of best I ever had.

Fortunately also had excellent Hampton Inn breakfast buffets and found a real nice Asian fusion place for one dinner. Other dinner so so at Wegman's.

If a soft pretzel is to @saltyant you can remove the salt.

The only way to ensure you score some fine ski fare, is to bring your own personal chef.  IE, @enjoralas

Note that the trail report is as long as the cafeteria report.

Where did you get the idea this was free food? We bought it at the Mt. It was really bad except for the onion rings.

I wasn't asked to describe trails. I was asked what we got at the cafeteria.

You should always describe the trails, it goes without saying. i mean, this is a skiing forum after all, with a weird fetish for pics of food.  

[Ski2Live Live2Ski]

There were some real steep double blacks, some pleasant long winding trails, 3 very nice glades with well spaced trees at various degrees of incline from blue to black - a highlight, and a bunch of bike trails through the woods. With almost everything skiable on our day 2 it had enough for a satisfying couple days. The vertical is not huge and the lifts are all slow, but with the great conditions we got Monday it was a delight and had more to it to explore than my kids legs had stamina for deep somewhat heavy snow. And my back got a bit beat up lifting them out of it when they fell and got their skis caught in it.

WJW. I'd let my hands go numb for the PASRs if it meant sharing my experiences with the community.  Just wow.

Remember the last time JF was run properly, and a great place to ski?  Do you remember the daily lunch special?  i think it was like "Mrs Martys" lunch or whatever?  It was like shepherds pie, lasagna, or Chicken pot pie?  Skitwolive would have written a 4 page essay about that.

He’d split it three ways with the twins if it was over $10

If you guys want great pics of Greek Greek Peak, see page 1 for an appropriate trip report. 

Sounds like a good trip Ski2Live, hoping to get there in the next few weeks
