Was at the Loaf on Saturday as well, skiing was really good. Never seen such an access road shit show in my life. At one point I was behind two groomers on the road.

Some great dirtbag food options here;)
Quick note on Stratton. Seems they have a new management and/or patrol philosophy as there was a ton of terrain open, ungroomed, powder stashes with water bars and twigs and rocks showing through. I mean a solid impression of Magic. The 3-4” squall from yesterday afternoon helped but there were still hits from the Friday storm. Sun Bowl completely ungroomed, Liftline, Slalom Glade/World Cup, Dino’s (first time down ever).
But of course, there was also the guy - 20’s or 30’s so a grown man - in a full body Unicorn suit. If that weren’t bad enough, he failed in loading Ursa and slid off. Had to stop the lift, walk back, etc. Your can’t make this up.
Of course I left my phone home so no picks of pow or unicorns…..
Skiing is fun, and right now really good. Thursday is last day like this for a bit unless the back side of the Grinch storm overdelivers. Always hope…….
""It is highly probable that the developing low pressure
system will approach climatological minimum pressure records. As
such, it has the potential to be more impactful than the usual
event of this nature with likely damaging winds, mixed
precipitation at the onset (mainly east of the Greens), the combination of rain and snowmelt producing
sharp river rises, and then a flash freeze behind a potent cold
front."
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!
Beginning to sound a lot like Fistmas!
I figured you might have been there today. You're right, it was off the charts good. Our first run was Kidderbrook. So much fresh snow with a little windcrust to keep you on your toes. Slalom Glade to World Cup was our run of the day. Lower Slalom Glade essentially untouched since the storm. World Cup looked like the old days on Magician before the Abie.
Anybody ever gone to The Wild Fern. That place is like a step back into the 70s, such a cool vibe and it is right around the corner from our ski club lodge. I haven't been there since COVID and i think they changed it up a bit. It used to be BYOB and put some cash in the tip jar and only open a few hours Friday and Saturday night and Sunday morning. Usually only 1 or 2 items on the menu in a converted trailer home, but the acoustics were great in such a tiny place.
Yeah I dunno about the organic spaghetti o's but Field Guide has adopted a house band that has been playing around for a few years, and they are fantastic. CFI (chicken fat injection), funk/jazz horns, Maceo Parker type stuff. Pro musicians, not a dad band. Highly recommended. I think they are playing there every friday or saturday throughout the winter. (sample here)
