If you ski it a couple of times, you'll notice the difference-there's actually room to pass someone (assuming they are not totally erratic). They did away with the side berms that sort of funneled everyone into the center. It sure will make a nice run if they can ever get the top and bottom...

Gotta give Bristol credit for running the guns on the upper part of the hill under marginal snowmaking conditions to do some resurfacing. Sun came out and I spent the morning on the backside with my daughter as she gets her ski legs back under her and we looked for her kids in their groups. Snow...

One of those "hey at least we're skiing" days. Sprinkling when we left Rochester, but my wife said "I'm dressed for skiing, we're going". Got there in mist which changed to light wet snow. Surface wasn't bad-the slight amount of new snow helped. Fog banks came and went throughout the morning...

Nice day today. Got down late-around 10:30 as I had an 8AM annual physical. Sun with a softened surface made for one of the best days of this pretty poor ski year. Everything still open-looks like they got a little snow overnight. Skied until about 1:15 or so as the sun gave way to clouds.

Report for 1/29-1/30. Some snow overnight on Sunday, so some fresh was mixed in with the groom on Monday. It kept snowing which helped the slopes, but combined with the fog, made for less than great visibility. Today was decent, although marbles on some of the steeper slopes. Our Tuesday...

Took two of my granddaughters down for their Saturday groups which means I stick around until 2:30-I adjust my expectations and deal with the Saturday crowds. Bristol survived the 1" of rain on Thursday night. All trails that were open Wednesday are still open, although there are some brown and...

Yes. I was there for a couple of Masters races and it was a nice atmosphere.

Sure would be a losing proposition this "winter".....................

I know Cannon has special rates for NH residents. Seems as though NY should too, although at 70+ tickets are cheap.

It will be very nice. I know the long term plan is to make it the race trail and move the events center over there. Whether it will happen before I stop racing or die is the big question! If it happens it will be a fun race trail! Skied today until about noon just as the rain was starting. Soft...

Two day report. Yesterday/Monday was groomed with sun that disappeared around 11:30 or so. Pretty busy for a Monday! Bumps gone on Rocket. Good day to spend some time on the race skis getting ready for today's race-haven't had the terrain to really let them rip. First beer league race today...

Lemming day at Bristol today. Left about noon and cars were parked in the outer parking lots. Snow in Rochester and the people descend! Upper Galaxy is open and they are blowing snow on Upper North Star. Yes, it got crowded, but it's good to see $$$ coming in. Conditions were nice-Rocket is...

A couple of new trails today-Upper/Lower Meteor. They are still blowing on Upper Galaxy now that there's a way to the bottow with Lower Meteor open. Still whales and moguls on ungroomed Upper/Lower Rocket-amazing how a trail can be transformed from a ripping groomer to a long thigh burning mogul...

Nice to have positives to report! Guns are cranking on Upper/Lower Meteor and Upper Galaxy-I'm thinking they could be open sometime tomorrow. Very nice skiing today-guns and big mounds/moguls on Upper and Lower Rocket. Southern Cross aka the Jr. Downhill opened today. Comet still a little...

Skied with the oldest (13) on Monday. I reminded her that there was a point when she would whine and want to quit for the day-that hasn't been true for a while. Even though they are in groups, I look forward to seeing the other two ski. The nine year old got new skis for her birthday-her first...

Enjoy your trip! I'll hold down the fort-my wife and daughter are leaving for Andorra tomorrow, so I'll take the 3 granddaughters down on Saturday for their groups and battle the crowds. Slalom skis, bright jacket and head on a swivel are the secret for survival..............

Guns have been and still are cranking. The backside trails (Milky Way, Nova, Morning Star and Shooting Star) are all open. The Comet/Outer Orbit run is complete and Sunset and the Challenger terrain/jump park is open with huge whales. For beginners Upper Infinity is open and they're blowing on...

Gettin' better. Power grid is back to normal and full capacity snowmaking has resumed. New trails-Morningstar and the Launching Pad for the noobs and kids. Snowmaking continues on Nova, Milky Way, Outer Orbit, and the Challenger terrain park. More snow on Comet, still sort of marbley, but better...

Nice sunny day today and the crowds weren't too bad for a vacation day. Comet is open and they are blowing snow on Morningstar. Apparently there is an electrical grid problem-they closed down early last night and they can't run the chairs and the snowmaking to full capacity. Too bad as this is...

Surprisingly good day today at Bristol. Almost didn't go, but decided the hell with it and went. Sun came out and the snow was decent on the very few open trails. Got there late, which seems to be a good strategy when the terrain is limited as it clears out mid morning. Looking at good...
