Skied Bretton Woods on a comp ticket yesterday, I'm thinking if I stay east coast next season im buying a midweek pass there.

Just was too much fun.
Trees are great, views are great (not as good as Wildcat but thats ok) and midweek the place is a ghost town.

I just can't justify $52 while I'm working at another resort.
Time to meander over to Attitrash.

Mt Washington from Bretton Woods - West Mountain. (Starr King actually)





And now a trail review of Bretton Woods:

Rosebrook:
awesome huge cruisers...
Some tight east coast style trails (which would equate to Sunday Bigger blues)
Mach G speeds possible even in this mush
Some trails made me go "that was a black? nawww... but ok!"


Rosebrook Canyon:
Broke out the rock skis and went to work.
Had to hike down a stupidly steep incline on McIntyre's Run (jesus christ... TREES in the middle? i'd be scared to ski that early season/late season when there's still snow)
Played stop and chase in the woods and found cover here and there... lots of dirt gapping necessary and some hiking

West Mountain:
Damn.
I spent nearly 2 1/2 hours here on 3 trails and some woods hopping with a grin.
I'd love to play here if we get a dumping instead of r**n this week.
Little Tuckerman lets you play superstar in the mush if you just point them from the top of the lift (and let the 3 people ridng the lift oooh and aaah)
Joseph's Run... let me say... if you wanna practice your hop turns?
Play right here.
Black listed as a blue.
I wish Wild West was open, I was eyeballing it from the lift and from Jacob's Ladder... crazy ass glade that reminds me of west coast stuff.
Jacob's Ladder... blue with booters EVERYWHERE
This trail is fun and reasonably tight... more of a blue/green, but with the width, its a blue.

More later!
