Monday April 4 - Snow arrives 3 months late

I am not at Hockleycrest today, but I'm pretty sure there will be enough snow to ski on. This is the snowfall we should have had in January.
If you decide to give skiing a try, there are a couple of things to bear in mind:
  • All the directional signage and maps have been taken down, so you'd better know your way around, or download and print a map.
  • a little over a week ago we had a massive ice storm, which brought down many tree branches and in some cases entire trees. Not all trails have been totally cleared.
The following trails should be avoided:
  • southern half of #5 West Side Story - due to fallen branches and flooded areas
  • eastern section of #10 Field and Forest (between #1 and #3) due to a fallen tree
  • #18 Roller Coaster due to a huge hemlock tree fallen right across the trail
You will also find fallen trees or limbs on #12 along the north edge of the field, and on #17 along the north edge of the field, but these can be avoided simply by skiing further out into the field.
