We drove up to Mt. Snow Friday afternoon so we could get an early start on Saturday. It was cold - about 5 degrees at 8 am, and it didn't get warmer than 10 all day. It was mainly sunny, with a few high clouds moving in during the afternoon.
This was our first day at the mountain since it changed ownership. We had heard lots of good things about the increased snow making efforts, and sure enough, there was pretty decent coverage.
There were several runs open on North Face, but only two of them were without rocks, pebbles etc, so we stuck to those. By lunchtime, they were pretty scraped off, but that's often the case on that side of the mountain.
Sunbrook was also open for the first time, and their big cruiser, Snowdance wasn't bad either.
Now that they have the snowmaking thing down, they should focus their attention on the lifts. The main lift to the summit was constantly stopping, causing huge backups and long liftlines. It does not seem as though improvements have been made to any of the lifts, some of which are ridiculously old and slow.
It was "free demo day" Saturday, and my ski buddies tried a few skis, but I was still getting used to a new pair, and decided to stick with those. Also, it was too darned cold to stand around at the base!
