Getting Better

Conditions up north are beginning to improve. Monday's storm brought 5-6 inches to most parts of the north country and forecasters are calling for small snow squalls continuing the rest of the week.

Surprisingly, conditions last weekend were not as bad as they looked. My wife and daughter went on a school trip to Cranmore and said the conditions weren't bad, at least on the groomers. The snow cats had done a good job of crunching up the ice surface and the skiing was enjoyable. They HATE ice so this is pretty encouraging.

For those of you who enjoy the glades however, they're still pretty much unskiable. We're still going to need another storm before the thick glaze of ice becomes covered enough to allow it to be skied safely.

I'm headed to Sunday River on the Jackson Ski Outlet bus trip on Saturday. There are still spaces open and it's a good deal, so come along. Tickets must be purchased in advance.
