I skied Attitash Saturday. It was not that bad at all until about 11 AM when the snow was brushed to the side and the ice appeared. I quit early.
I didn't know till later that day that Bretton Woods was blessed with 14" of new snow. Couldn't go Sunday as I have vouchers to Loon that I wanted to use up.
Sunday, Loon got croweded, fast! By 10 AM the lines were long and the snow conditions deteriated to boiler plates. I called my son-in-law and he hauled the sleds up to Minge Cove for an afternoon of sledding on the big lake. I was watching for the open water that DRH mentioned in another thread and I have not seen any. There was enough snow on the ice to keep the rails lubricated. I didn't find too much open water as we stayed near Treasure, Sleepers and Rattlesnake Island. I do know there is open water beyond Diamond on the Broads. I stayed away from there. I had a great time nevertheless.
