Weds calling for light snow and partial sun temps in the low 30s. The mt did take a hit with the rain last week so there is b-plate down below the groom. I only rode for the first hour sat/sun and it was typical eastcoast, you can carve it but if you push too hard you're out. They have been blowin every night and blending that in with the base. All trails are open. Nightime temps are very chilly so the groom should set-up nice and may have some sugar on top for first am. Make sure your blades are sharp, bring the 5 hour energy the bottle of advil and the low light lens. I'll see you at 9 in the new lodge.

My current state of employment provides me unlimited access. I've stopped counting how many times I've been this season. The 5th sounds fine, it's Ladies Day so you all should fit right in, Wed. the 6th would be 2 fer one day, just saying. The snow is excellent with a deep base, everything is open, they got two more of those monster groomers this year and the cord is set sweetly every morning for my hour or so. They blew a ton of cover for MLK weekend and while it has been a bit nippi this week you can 'carve carve no slide" cause it isn't icy. DURACE- I've fallen in with the mid-week crowd if I go on the w/end it is only for a quick hour and then back with my boy "The Gas Pedal" skiing the S.Peak/Ridge or Beater. He is already hittin the beginner rails/boxes at age 5 and only wants to be in the park. EZE

They called it today. There was some very creative grooming as they tried to salvage whatever trail snow was left. Season Over. EZE

Two Week Warning. Snow is still good however the holes are coming thru. All next week is discount ticket if you bring 5 non-per food items. They will not be open for the weekend of April7/8th. Skeeters came out yesterday:( EZE

updated forecast WINDY, 40+ gusts for midday, low 60s. Sun to later clouds with rain coming for the evening. 1st chair at 9, quad may be at half speed if that windy at the top. Black visor helmet, will start at quad. E

Who rode recently(fri/sat? couldn't rem day) and augered out on flying goose early? Heard report it was an epic ejection from a very cheecky base of hard over soft snow. Funny how carvers stand out and are remembered, beginning of report was 'I saw you crash this morning'.

just so happens, I have the day off as well. I do have an appt. at 8am in Concord but should be back for a 9:30ish start. Lots of melting today, may just get to freezing tonight, prob higher on mt. Could be icy hard first thing or 1.5inches of push over bplate. Anyway past noon its gonna be all mush with alost 60 temps and bright sun. I can ride for an hour or 2 then home get fam and back to beginner area for afternoon. I'll prob hit quad first then to north peak. EZE

Sorry, sick fam and a tradeshow. Board went to Corey_dyck last week. EZE

I bought the last prototype(before production) Proteus 180 at Sean's demo sale this summer. I was expecting the ride you folks have described, but very unfortunately my meager 155# frame cannot bend this board. I have had to adjust my stance to as forward as possible just to be able to get it to engage. I bought this for 600+ shipping. If anyone wants this please make me a reasonable offer, only riden 3 times and not very long. Would be looking to trade for newer set of TD3. EZE

They have been blowin in anticipation of vacation weeks and no snow. Workforce is on reduced hours. Snow on Saturday was beautiful on the top and corn on the bottom, hardest snow is always north peak first thing but flat light. Sunday was great but I only ran the bottom of Flying Goose off the duck chair as it was cold. The Sunapee base is best from 8 to 11, the crowds are bad unless you can move through the singles lines. By afternoon you are down to boilerplate base with piles of corn on the sides or you can cruise nice slow turns on south peak the snow stays longer over there or ride around the features in the park casue those jibbers don't use it but big risk of getting tagged. I carve from 8 to 10ish either bombing the trails under the quad or the north peak, I never go into the slowbowl anymore with my limited run time. EZE

Of course I'll be there for whatever opening day is. I was informed by the boy that he will not be skiing this year. Guess I'm looking for a 100 to 120ish raceboard, don't think he's up to the 140 rossi i have in waiting. And yes the 20inches was very nice and dry up here, very unfortunate down south. There were ALOT of people hiking the next day, we drove over to see after we had already used up the first tracks on Mt. Ensign, mostly straightlining with one or two turns at the end, the 6' cliff drop will be excellent once we pack in some snow this season. EZE

Last night's newsletter calls for snowmaking to begin Thurs. 17th with expected opening for I guess I'll call it WHITE FRIDAY the 25th. Weather permitting of course.

http://www.wmur.com/news/29036982/detail.html Collapsed this morning.

The first thing I learned this season (which will never happen again) But listen to my warning. Do Not Have baby making realtions with your wife from mid-May to August it is a game changer to your carving season. I'm taking Thursday off to say good bye looks to be last uncrowded sunshine day of the season. They will be turning off the lifts Sunday at 4pm, no trying for Easter this year even with the amount of money they saved on snowmaking the ticket buyers aren't coming. Still plenty of base, no holes and not very dirty yet. They have lowered run count midweek to save snow for weekend. Bring a carving tool for the morning ice and the fork for mashed potato after 11am. Didn't see but heard there were several carvers on Sat. I took one run considered it crap and left(unhappy new Mommy) Saturday's melt was Sunday mornings frozen something, fighting to keep the edge dug in, made it for an hour(see 1st statement). EZE

Coming Thursday late and all day Friday. Little extra base to carry us nicely in to April:1luvu: The snow & groom at Sunapee has been excellent this year as always. Slush cup on Sunday. 85 feet of 36 degree water. EZE
