Cranmore NH?
it's a tiny place. at least you're getting some runs in late season. i havent been there in 10+ years so i cant offer much, except this anecdote:
a friend and i took our then g/f's there, this was probably 2005? i was the only one with any real experience, the other 3 were beginners. my buddy decides to try snowboarding. i told all of them not to try and keep up with me, but that i'd wait for them at each major trail junction, chair lift, etc.
on the FIRST RUN, i cruise down the green circle and get to the bottom and wait. and wait. and wait. and wait. probably 20 minutes go by, and i'm wondering where the hell my group is. i decide that maybe they went to a different chair, so i jump in the singles line and get going. i'm about to get onto the chair when i look at the chalkboard they had right near the front of the line and it said "<mr. testaverde> please report to first aid"
never a good sign when you're paged to first aid. so i went and it turns out my buddy fell on the first run and busted up his arm pretty good. we went to the hospital with him, he got a cast, and i dont think he's gone snowboarding or skiing every since
my season is likely over
went 2.5 times. the 0.5 was a 2 hour jaunt at a small local hill called Ski Bradford. went to killington a few Sundays ago, it never got above single digit temperatures
. good day though, went with 2 buddies who are at the same talent level as me, so it was just go-go-go all day AND it was pretty empty due to the temps
was at okemo last sunday with my wife and my buddy, his wife, and his dad. GREAT day on the mountain, high 30's and sunny, soft snow. if that was my last time out this season, that was the perfect day
