So for the second day trip of the season I went to App. Easy terrain but always fun to board at when you go alone. Honestly the snow is the best I've seen it since I moved here and picked up Snowboarding 5 going on 6 years ago. I got there about 9:00.
Today's adventure will be on the Burton Clash 155
First ride up to the top of Big Appal

It great to be an American!!!
All in all it was a good day. It sleeted rained and flurried off and on all day long. Most of it was rain. Nothing beats good snow in November, no matter were you go. Next week I think it will be at Beech with my Dad. He hasn't made turns in almost 3 years. In all the years he's lived here and worked at the resorts he's never been the Beech.
Later on

Was there a noticeable difference at the top of the lift leading into Orchard Run? I remember hearing they re-graded the top part to widen it and create some relief for bottlenecks.

Yes I did notice that. It wasnt but a few feet but they did widen it all the way down to where the trail splits to appal jam. They need to grade it so when you get off the double lift you dont have to push your way to Orchard. but they did widen the trail which is nice.

Thanks I love my Flows. While most ppl are sitting down to lock up I stay up and I'm off and going in 10 seconds or less. I want to spend my time boarding and not sitting on my butt.
