Bristol Conditions

[XTski]

Sounds sweet Johnny, does Bristol still work with visually impaired people, I believe they used to have a program called ”bold” or something like that and we used to wear blindfolds to practice teaching

Can't say for sure and I haven't seen anyone out there this year with the vests on. Doesn't mean they aren't-I'm not down there every hour even though it seems so!

Nothing particularly new to report-everything is open,snow is good and there's plenty of it, crowds were fairly big, but not unexpected on a holiday Sunday, and all lifts were running. Might be time for an out of towner to visit as we're expecting more snow this week. Just remember schools are out for Winter vacation.

Got about 5-6" of heavy stuff from the storm. Quite a few trails were groomed early which meant there was fresh stuff on top. While it was far from champagne powder, it was still nice. Good addition to the base. Our 10 year old granddaughter got challenged today, but did well once she got used to the feel of the snow.

Beautiful sunny day with just about perfect winter conditions. It's so nice to be able to really see! Short day-I was skiing with my daughter who crashed on about run 8 and bruised herself pretty well (and bent the brake on one of her skis so it wouldn't retract). We quit after that-she was beat up, and while the crowds weren't terrible, they were enough to make me content with the amount of skiing we'd done.

We passed on the bluebird day yesterday as reservations were sold out for the morning (even though we don't need them as passholders it would have been a very busy day). Today was windy and gray, but the snow was excellent and the crowds were back to last year's weekday levels which meant skiing right up to the lift after about 10:30 or so. Nice moguls on Universe where it looks like they are leaving as a bump run, and the sides of some other trails.

Predicted rain held off and we got to ski in the sun for a good portion of the day. Quit about 12:30 as the snow was starting to get sticky (I think everyone had cold wax on their skis). Pretty good line for first chair, but crowds dispersed between the Comet and Galaxy HSQs, so practically no lift lines for most of our ski time. Was about 53 degrees when I got back to Rochester. Beer league race tomorrow night-we'll see how conditions are for that after today's warm temps.

Bluebird day with nice snow that didn't get sticky like Wednesday, although the temps didn't get as high. Pretty crowded for a weekday, but it's Friday, it's sunny and there's still snow in the backyards in Rochester. Crowds thinned about noon.

Nice mostly sunny day with snow that softened up nicely as the day went on. Still 100% open with good coverage on the main trails. Skied with four lovely ladies-my wife and three friends. Pic is at the top of Lower Galaxy.
