Its was a sunny day with temps in the low 30's. snowmaking has shut down while it warms up but they have done an amazing job. Skidder and Sluice were ungroomed a bit firm but still quite good. Tote, Kings and Hayburner were amazing.
After 50 inches of snow in 2 weeks, the Backside of the mtn and Burnt Mountain opened this past weekend. The Skiing is amazing, the groomers are deep packed powder and the bumps are soft and huge. The Trees are skiing great. The past few days have been a little windy, King Pine and Timberline have been on wind hold, but hiking to the top has been allowed.
The past few days have been cold, temps in the teens in the morning, it may be April but spring temps have yet to arrive. Reggae is only a few days away, the crowds will be crazy but this week its quiet on the mtn. Conditions are still really good, hard and fast. the ungroomed is firm but still great. Still plenty of coverage. King Pine and Whiffletree are now closed mid week but will reopen on Friday for the weekend.
Skied the backside, best conditions in years, then skied and hiked across the golden road to the Burnt Mtn trail, then hiked to the top of Burnt and skied the new Kennebec glade. A great adventure but was very slow going.
