jtslalom Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) Day number 6 for me was yesterday 12/28/17 at MC. They have been making snow non-stop all of this week and have a lot to show for it. They are open top to bottom with a little more than half of the slopes open. They have been making snow on Zero-G, Grand Prix, and Great Northern for the last few days and more than likely will be open this weekend. As you can guess conditions have been good. Lower Straightaway and Garden State are both open along with twist and Sayanora. Matchmaker (the old pipe) is soon to open as well. I have only ridden north but they have also been making snow on south and Bear Peaks as well. Connecting trail is not open yet but I think this weekend they will be able to open it. I will be riding Saturday and Sunday mornings at north and Granite. Hope to see other carvers.

Erik J Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Creek was great this week, lots open. But today...jeebus. Over 17 hours of rain and 60 deg temps. Back to single digit temps tomorrow. Sharpen those edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff novack Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I’m looking for someone to ride with at mountain Creek. I just purchase a hard boot setup and have been riding soft boots since 1995. I was planning on going Saturday the 27 th, as long as my gear arrives. Hoping to get some pointer for a newbie.

jtslalom Posted January 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Jeff, A few of us ride first lift at north just about every Saturday and Sunday morning. This up and coming weekend will be Jan 27/28 and most of us will be riding however the conditions will more than likely not be so great. If you are coming up regardless of conditions try to get there as early as possible. The cab starts loading at 8 am and usually we are part of the first group on the hill. See you there. jt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff novack Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 JT, Thanks for getting back to me. I’m waiting to see if my gear arrives, there was a delay at customs. I’m hoping to make it one of the days. I would be starting a bit later, since I have to drop my 6 year old at ski school at 9 am. Is it a large crew of riders? Does anyone now how to use the hard boot gear? I hope I can figure out how to ride with this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtslalom Posted January 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Its usually Dave and I on early weekend mornings. Jimmy and Ken will ride early as well. Jimmy is usually the only one riding in hard boots but all of have had many years riding hard boots. More than likely we will be able to help you out. If you come up on a week day maybe you can solicit Eric J to ride. He knows a little about it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowFerret Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 I might try to do a half day at Mountain Creek this Saturday. I haven’t ridden there before and I’m still fairly new to hardbooting. What trails should I focus on if I decide to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowboardingJ Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 When JT said first lift, he meant 8am with the season pass holder early access. I'm usually there after the first wave so I don't have to wait in line. Generally speaking, MC is very crowded on the weekend. Either way, see you all Saturday.

Jeff novack Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Hi guys, thanks so much. My setup is stuck in customs so I’m not going to make it this weekend. I may come Tuesday if my stuff arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik J Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Creek put down a lot of new snow this week. They did a nice job bouncing back from that warm spell. Once pressed in with the groomers it should be great chalky hardpack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
