    First few runs this morning were quite nice on Mountain Run and Victoria. Some fresh natural and manmade on top of very firm snow. Summit was less good as the wind blew off most of the lighter stuff. By 10:30 I had to search out the nicer snow on the edges. First time this season I had to wait...

    I didn't leave the house today but here it was single digits all day. On the mountain, with the wind, .....certainly below zero.

    I didn't see a lot of folks skiing today but I wasn't looking a lot either. What I did see didn't look great, lots of sideways scraping but you never know how things may have been on the edges. I'll bet there were some nice wind blown bits for soft turns here and there. I'll ski in the...

    Thanks. We have a telescope set up inside. You can tell a lot about the conditions by the way people are moving.

    Here's WF this morning. It doesn't look as bad as I feared. I'm not skiing until tomorrow but would love to hear about conditions today if anyone is able to report.

    Nice day and fun skiing this morning. Mountain Run and Upper Thruway were open with some fun fresh manmade snow. Lower Essex has coverage issues but still super fun. They had lower Mackenzie open for a short while this morning after being closed yesterday (morning at least). Of course the blue...

    It's been pretty good in the mornings yesterday and today. Soft corduroy for an hour or two and then it starts to harden up. I'm thinking that I'm getting my legs back earlier this year with the longer early season runs. Still nothing new open but it looks like Mountain Run and Approach could...

    I didn't think it was too bad this morning, especially up top and on skier's left of Victoria. I was done by 11 though.

    Totally agree. Firm but very turnable. At least in the morning. I was done by 11

    They did open Lower Northway which was a nice alternative to the often clogged Excelsior. Upper and Lower Valley are still not ready. No Essex either.

    Well if last weekend was the kind of Day 1 you hope for, today was more like the Day 1 you usually get. Light rain on the bottom half of the mountain. Turned to snow around the top of Facelift. The Gondola and Facelift were running close to on time and they did open the summit chair at around...

    Where are you skiing this week?

    I used to climb in the Gunks a lot but even 10 years ago I stopped climbing on weekends. It's amazing (and dangerous) the crazy that goes on there.

    I'm in Wilmington and NYC. I teach for a living and my wife is WFH so we're in Wilmington all summer and about 3-4 days a week during ski season . It's likely our paths have crossed, especially if you ski in the mornings!
