Friday Feb 15 (2 days after storm) was a decent day at the River. Conditions were pretty good; enough piles of powder around though in places it was skied off or there was ice. Ungroomed areas weren't good; snow was crusty. Barker Mtn. as usual had some really good runs.

Friday, Feb 8th What a day !!
Although the sun was not shining the skiing could not have been much better ! The temp was mild but the skiing was hot ! Top Gun was my fav trail of the day with my companions loving the powda on the bumps of Shockwave ! Folks at Sunday River kept things moving along with hardly a wait in the liftlines. Our longest was 5 minutes !

Awesome skiing on Superbowl Sunday at Sunday River. Most folks disappeared from the slopes by 12:30PM so it was wide open all afternoon, with a few new inches of powder coming down. Jordan Bowl was deep in fluff, and almost no one was over there on Excaliber and Rogue Angel. Can't wait to get back up to fly in the WHite Mountain Sky!

Mt. Abram had great conditions on Sunday, February 10, 2008 for most of the day. The storm didn't begin until around 2:30 so my grandfather and I had most of the day to ski with good visibility. There weren't many people out on the slopes despite the calm weather so we were able to get in a lot of runs. My grandmother went tubing while we skiied and said that the three different runs were fun and being enjoyed by many families with small children.

The latest snowfall and great grooming made Sunday River the perfect place to ski on Saturday, February 9, 2008. The weather was warm and the conditions were perfect especially on Barker Mountain. Even though it seemed like a lot of people were at the lodge, the lift lines didn't seem to be long at all. I had a great day of skiing with my grandfather and I can't wait to come again!

Friday Feb 9--powdah day! Skiing was the best I've seen all season. About 5 inches of fresh powder, nearly all trails open (except for some being used for racing), comfortable temps and no wind. At the very end of the day there were some skied-off spots.

My first time back to Sunday River in more than ten+ years. It was a great day with sun at mid-day and mostly powder on the trails. It was my kids' first time at SR and only their second time on skis. The lift at South Ridge made for easy loading and unloading. They had a great time in the terrain parks and barely had any falls!

At a local bar the other night when I mentioned Sunday River. Aww whatevah.... Its Sugarloaf or nothing for me. I heard comming from the corner. Wanna bet? I says. Lets hit the two this weekand and we'll see. So we loaded up the volvo and headed up to the River. Friday morning the snow pounds the mountain. "fresh powdah" my friend exclaims. Yuh! I says. We got there for first chair. I guess there was only bout 5 inches, but it was nice. Not many showed up for fridays fun but we did. My buddy still a loafer but I saw him smile a couple of times.

Jan. 17, 2008. Much improvement from two days ago. Trails that the snowmakers hit were excellent; Sunday Punch had tiny moguls on it, there was so much powder. Lots of whalebacks though. Other trails ranged from decent to icy. It was hit or miss.

Sunday (1/13/08) @ Sunday River.
Something like 90+/- trails open. Very short lift lines. On most trails there was an icy base with from 2-5" of man made powder on top.
So, the skiing was good early on, but got pretty tough as the afternoon wore on. By then there were patches of ice with piles of powder mixed around.
I am hoping we get back to December conditions soon!!!
