Tommy Miller reported from Ski Beech on Thursday –

Headed up to Beech early this morning for Men’s Day.  I expected to find some nice groomed conditions, boy was I wrong!  Nothing was groomed.  The last 4 times I’ve been there the slopes haven’t been groomed.  Is the groomer broke?  I heard it may be.  I guess it’s hard to complain when it’s free, but the snow was just not good at all this morning.  It was very very hard and bumpy.  No fun to ski on.  It did start to loosen up, but even then it wasn’t very good.  They did have plenty of snow though.  They’ll have no problem making it until the 19th if they choose to.

Dana Thompson Reports from Timberline Resort on Wednesday –

Let me say first of all that I have been following your website for a few years along with a site closer to me (dcski) and you guys have the right idea and I have to say that I have become addicted to the content and can’t start my day without reading up on what’s happening, check out the live cams and weather information for up this way.  I’ll try to be more proactive in providing reports for here at Canaan and Timberline where ride most often.  The conditions here are still quite nice with firm snow and side to side coverage.  The slopes are uncrowded and soft from the mild temps.  Timberline has been doing a good job of grooming and I’ve noticed that you guys have been getting regular reports from them on a daily basis and that is great for all of us up here!  You guys tend to post the updated snow report even before the Timberline Website!
