Absolutely unbelievable day today. Headed up bright and early this morning to check out the backside, and it was sooo worth it. It's absolutely buried back there - probably the best condition I've ever seen it in. After all of this snow and two days of steady winds it's all totally blown in. First pitch is a bit bony in spots as usual, but the second pitch is mostly fluffy and easy to punch through. Truly amazing.
Some photos from this morning.
I'm going to be smiling for days....

My guess is the skier in the helmet is Tinker?

The skier in the helmet is Tinker, who you can book a private lesson or a moose hunting trip with, and the skier in the hat is Gerry, who will put a mean base grind on your skis down at Happy Tunes and teach you to rip a bump line for Perfect Turn all in the same day!

It seems like it would have made more sense to shut SQ down on a slow tuesday and put the sheaves on and have less windholds then to leave it for later and have more windholds
Thanks for the update. It's nice to know the highly touted sheeve trains will still be installed. I think last year had less wind than '07/'08 and '080/'09 and but it will be interesting to see if they improve the wind resistance of the SQ.
I think…
I hope Ethan can fill us in on this one. Many of my Loafer friends and I are puzzled by this question. Last year this was announced as an improvement for the SQ to make it more likely to run in windy conditions. Nothing was done and the rumor mill…
I guess "they" read my post. Still nothing official about 2010-11 skiing improvements, though the Zipline and Chairlift rides will help make SL more interesting in the noon-ski season. Also, the Zipline may run in winter too.
Well, the old photo gallery on the left is gone. I'll miss her. It was like that old truck rotting beside the garage. Now that she's gone, you realize you really did love her.

Why does this site continue to show pictures from "This is a collection of photos of this year's Capital Improvements in progress." and all the pics are from the summer of 2009. The section is captioned "What's new for 2009-10?"

a t-bar would be cool and maybe a trail or two to go with and a kick ass glade
