Aside from the sad accident, Conditions were great today. Rumor opened and in usual opening day fashion was nice chalky manmade and the clear ROTD. Made many laps. Also great (though no bad runs to be found) were Double Barrel, Upper Darby to Darby Woods, McIntyre and the Dark Side Glades, Mineshaft Glades, Topridge, lower mountain early. Even got a few post 3 PM laps in the Chatterbox Glades which were skiied in but skiing very well. Had planned to venture down to BR at some point but when I heard it was closed as I was about to just sticked to the upper mountain.
It was definitely busy. Cars parked most of the way down the access road and lines even for singles on Straightbrook with the every other chair loading. High peaks and Topridge had little if any waits.
Sad day given the accident but a great day as far as skiing and weather went as it stayed sunny and comfortable right up to 3. Given the new snow tomorrow I focused on trail skiing today but tomorrow it's full game on for the woods and looking forward to some early laps at the bowl. I sure hope Ski Bowl Glades are open and if not may be time to go a poachin'.
