    Ragged Mountain, NH: 2023-24

    How many runs can I get in an hour and a half with absolutely no lift line? Turns out 10. Showboat and Flying Yankee fully open. I hit a patch of ice on Showboat and almost became a flying yankee myself. Lots of glades and the ungroomed side of Showboat are some traffic. I’m waiting for more...

    Plattekill, NY: 1/19/24

    I too had a season ending injury last year. Except mine was in January. I was ready to get back out after a month but my physical therapist and my wife (especially my wife) didn’t want me to chance it. I was raring to go this December. However, I am skiing more causiously. More turns. Less...

    That‘s right! If you can’t enjoy the journey just enjoy existing. And if you can’t do that just sleep through winter.

    Ragged Mountain, NH: 2023-24

    January 17, 2024 Sunny and cold today. Didn’t get windy until around lunchtime which is when I called it a day, went home and had, well, lunch. On the Spear side they’re still blowing snow on the top of Flying Yankee while the lower 3/4s wasn’t as sweet as thought it would be. It was quite...

    Ragged Mountain, NH: 2023-24

    Another beautiful bluebird day. I got a late start and asked someone how it was and they said, “it’s good if your edges are sharp”. Later Newfound Ridge opened after race training and again someone on the lift said “it’s nice after the first steep part but before that it’s kinda chattery”. Hate...

    Beautiful day at Ragged. Temps in the 20s, some sun. My only regret is that I had to stop at noon. Nice to ski on some natural snow and finally got to ride the Spear lift for some turns on Cardigan Turnpike. Still blowing snow on Flying Yankee and also building the snow bridge on Showboat.

    Cannon, NH: 1/3/24

    Hard packed snow, many patches of ice, limited terrain, no sun, and limited visibility at the top. That sums up skiing at Cannon Mountain today. Temperatures stayed in the 30s so it was comfortable. There were no lift lines to speak of. Aside from the dysfunctional baggage policy it was...

    Well the snow guns will be on at least.

    Winter Weather 2023/24

    The timing of predicting a storm this far out is tenuous at best. Get ready for disappointment?

    Winter Weather 2023/24

    A mere 264 hours away. Even if this is fantasy hopefully it shows a pattern change for snow.

    Ragged Mountain, NH: 2023-24

    Temperatures under 40 for a changes with snow showers and a nearly empty (considering the holiday and a Saturday). Snow was wet but firm. They added Lower Ridge during the last week. So after a week of skipping it was good to be back. And we found the Festivus tree.

    Copied and pasted from Snowjournal because I’m tired. 😴 Nice sunny day. Slightly warm. Conditions ranged from granular and sugary to a little mash potatoey to scraped off ice. I was done by lunch at 1.

    A little warm to start the day but it cooled off by lunch with snow squalls moving in. More trails ope for today and more being groomed. No snow guns running today but hopefully with cooler temps they’ll get some licks in.

    Meant that more as a ”maybe” like I was agreeing with your previous statement. 😁
