Second hand email report , I’m sure I had you’all wondering? Two ski areas in the same day? – all the Italic’s are my cant resist comments, what’s new with that? The rest are from Mr CD.….Mr CD - The mountain is skiing good.  The morning was taken up with LS groomers, GV ferkbergs, and a couple runs in BP and OF.  Also made one run down PB.  GV was it's usual goodness and Ferkberg was very skiable even though it hadn't been groomed for a couple days.  I hope they groom it tonight as it got pretty skied out by the end of the day with a few rocks starting to show in the middle of the bottom funnel.  OF and BP were fun, but not as good as Monday.  The big disappointment was PB.  Firm and kinda chunky (needs more snowboarder grooming! Please!).  It was OK, but not as good as the last month.  The top coverage is a striking contrast to the last time I was up there.  The rocks in John's chute ( I don’t know that run) are completely covered and the top coverage good (actually great).  NW was closed for some reason (rumor I heard was Friday, lack of participation and the accountants are maybe starting to look at the numbers – same for how many pro patrol are on the mountain on a given day – not many).
The front side softened at noon and skied really well until 2 when it started to firm.  All the usual suspects.

I had a chicken parm sandwich for lunch in the CB lodge that was way too big.  Lori got a really good BLT.  Soup was loaded bake potato (thank-you!)

No rocks to worry about.  Another good day on tap for tomorrow. 

Other info -  On another note, I can't believe they charge $300/night normal price for these rooms (Alpine Inn?).  They're barely worth the $100 we paid.  (parking?)

DDK this may be the first (long winded) second hand ski report I have ever read here. I expect more out of your new found hard hitting journalism work like: Why Northway is closed when conditions are fine and Crystal is charging full price to ski? Or why the the Gondi is closing at 3pm to skiers and 3:30 for sightseers? Or blog spots on people who paid for a parking and the paid lot is full. And the greatest question of all-Why after they remodeled the mens room they did not put a bigger vent fan in there?
These and many more insightful answers need to be applied to the almost daily DDK report!

I'll try to do better Joe in the future....just noticed that none of the ITALACS came through, just did some updates, but does not work great on my crappy pc....so the lots of the ? mark comments are mine....Maybe CD will start posting after this weekend. I'd like to know why the bucket usually gets to load before CHex and I dont think the pay lot is every full - other than weekends. Bigger vent fans in the pit would be nice some mornings....questions questions....
