Gunstock 1/1/2017
Dates: 12/31/2016 - /1/2017
Resort: Gunstock - Gilford, NH
Conditions: Packed Powder, 2 inches of fresh on top.
Report: Another fantastic day on the hill, with very little crowds. Arrived up at the house around noon on NYE, where I took my 5 year old out on the Magic Carpet again where he really made a lot of improvement over last year! He is almost at the point of linking turns. In two weeks, when we are back up there, I will get him some formal 1 on 1 lessons - so he can get on the lower mountain lifts. But man was he loving it! After his hour or so with me on the carpet, I decided to take one quick run from the top. Man was it skied off, and the crowds were nuts. Called it a night, went home and watched the Dick Clarkless - Dick Clark rocking in the NYE show..
Yesterday morning, I was the first chair up for first tracks on the hill on the first day of the year. Crowds were light, which was great. Plus the additional 2 inches of snow overnight helped big time. They finally opened flintrock, which now brings 3 routes from the top down. All in all a good day on the hill, called it quits around 1ish - just because wife and family wanted to see a movie. All in all a good fast morning session.
Next week brings me back to Mount Snow!
Pics!
The little guy all thumbs up!
Rocking the Magic Carpet like a Pro!
