Posted: Mar 28, 2006 - 11:40 PM GMT Just a quick report about my day trip to Mt. Sunapee, NH, last Thursday. Given the winter and recent weather, Sunapee had great cover on its trails - that is, the ones that have snowmaking. However, the snow that was there was very nice: free of rocks, solid and fairly deep (around 15"-20" in most spots, with a berm along the edge of the trail). The morning had nice hardpack - not boilerplate hard, but firm. Between 10:30 and noon was some of the nicest corn I've skied in years: good playful stuff, into which the Atomic skis I used that day - the SX:11, the LT11 and the GS12 - carved clean arcs at speed. After noon, the lower half of the resort became a mashed potato field, with thick, lumpy snow that rewarded good wax and base structure and punished the rest. Of the runs that were open, Blast-Off was the least affected by the sun, with nice corn from top to bottom until I hung it up for the day at 2:15. Pictures from the trip can be found here. __________ Track my adventures at randomduck.com |

Posted: Mar 29, 2006 - 1:26 PM GMTEdited: Mar 29, 2006 - 1:28 PM GMT Excellent report on my home mountain. Upper Blast-Off usually is the last trail to experience mid winter conditions in the late season as it holds the snow and stays in the shade for a fair portion of the day. I have some panoramic photos that I took last Saturday that I'll be posting sometime today with references to the places you can see from the top of the hill. EDIT: Sorry, I'm only there Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I may work on Thursday of next week because I'm on April vacation then, but I'm not sure at this point. Who knows, maybe I'll ski there on Tuesday... __________ Fall Line n. Imaginary line following the most direct path down a slope that skiers continuously traverse on a run, often stopping at other invisible slope features along the way like the Tumble Lane, the Stagger Path and the Topple Zone. |

Posted: Mar 29, 2006 - 5:39 PM GMT I might hit the mountain on Monday or some other time this next week, but not on the weekend as we are short staffed in Lift Operations. Though I can pretty much guarantee where I'll be on Saturday and Sunday. I should be at the top of the Sun Bowl on Sat. and most likely I'll be the foreman of the Sunapee Express on Sun. I think I'll be at the top of the Spruce lift on Friday though. As usual this is all subject to change, but these are what I'm predicting for the weekend. __________ Fall Line n.
