Confession time. I'm not one of those Haters who sneers at man-made. I'll take snow over none, any day. Attitash (they've officially dropped the /Bear Peak) on a cold Wednesday had limited terrain, but what was open started the morning with perfect deep, firm, very fast corduroy and good edge-to-edge coverage--nary a stone in sight. Rare, Blue sky day--Mt. Washington looked close enough to touch. And the slopes, particularly the steeps (rated double-diamond--for comic relief, I'd guess:wink: ) were empty, thanks, maybe to the single-digit temps. My buddy and I turned every trail that was open into our own private Super-G for the first several runs. Only later did other skiers/rider show. By noon, we were tired--and tired of the same three trails, which were starting to get scraped and chattery at the speeds we like to ski. So we quit. Good thigh burn; Good time had by all. Pray for snow.

a.k.a. "Warp Nine" :wink: I had the pleasure of trying to keep up with Timid last Saturday at Okemo, and trust me...his nick isn't an indicator of how he skis. He kept laying down this "I've got a bum ankle, so I'm taking it easy" jive...I'd hate to see him when he's healthy!
Glad to see you around here, Timid! Welcome.
