bobble Posted March 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 3/10/19 Rained Saturday then turned to snow. buck closed at 6pm due inclement weather. I think we got about 5-6 inches of new snow... I overheard the ticket office say that they had groomed last night and that there was cord. Crossroads had a lot of icy cord and bumps under the "powder". Long big turns and getting bounced off edge. It wasn't fun. Olympic was worse. I was humbled on first turn. I swung over to skiers right near that chute for first turn and immediately got bounced off toe-side edge. Landed on my stomach. Not sure what happened... might've hit ruts from the groomer under the snow. At the bottom of meadows there were ruts, folds in the snow, or something at the bottom that made it difficult to slow down without chattering. I fell just coming into the lift line. Rode chair with a skier who complained about that area too. Ended up leaving after an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobble Posted March 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 3/31/19 started out icy cord. Softened within the hour. Crossroads was ok but liked Warners and Meadows for the surf. Not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigwavedave Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 Mont du Lac has a wide open run that looks similar to MilkRun/Crossroads at Buck, maybe a bit steeper. Might be a good bigboard carving hill when it's not busy. I've never been. @bumpyride has ridden there. Great! Now you have an excuse to go to Indianhead/Blackjack. I'm surprized Yagoo Valley is still going. I had a comp pass at nearby Pine Top when I was a kid as my Dad supplied the giant air compressors needed for the then new snowmaking. It's history now. I think @lonbordin went there and hiked it. @rwmaron and @Algunderfoot have been to Ski Cooper. Bring oxygen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonbordin Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) Yup... Used to live near Yawgoo... So tiny. Snowbowl/Flagstaff is great and they're still open until May 19!! Go now! That's @nitro's home hill. Hope he's healing well! No Paoli because we're a part of Peak Resorts. Edited May 9, 2019 by lonbordin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigwavedave Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Wow! Buck Hill this morning... Looks like this favorable snowmaking weather pattern will stick around for awhile. Could be an early season opener. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
