Mount Sunapee Firsthand Reports

The slope is nice in the morning, but getting icy in many spots in the afternoon. Opened glade areas are surprisingly nice condition. The line is the longest I have seen years. Hard to believe it has any crowd control as they claimed, 3 min down the hill, 30 min in the line.

Great skiing today. Great conditions and grooming

I skied today and the snow was really great. The runs that they do have opened are covered really well, I was really impressed. Do be prepared to warm up in your car. At least at Spruce Lodge, they were only letting people in to use the bathroom and then leave quickly, on a one-way route. I think they are taking reservations for the Pub upstairs, but I bet they are very hard to get. I recommend coming on a weekday if at all possible, it was great!

Outstanding day at Sunapee today. Delightful packed powdah conditions and not a square inch of ice in sight. No crowds, Blastoff and Chipmunk were heavenly and the staff is cognizant and enforced health protocols. The cloud banks below the halfway point in the mountain provided for jaw dropping scenery.

Conditions were great today, snow was very carvable and there were off and on snow showers throughout the day. The recent snow has really helped freshen up the trails and help them open up more terrain. Packed powder on all trails and plenty of man-made snow being made

Great day on the mountain. At least one open trail on every face, including the venerable Eggbeater. Despite the inconsistent weather, the groomers and snow makers did a superb job. Happy to report that mask and health protocol compliance is now universal at the resort, with greeter guest services people walking the lines to check on mask compliance. I felt safe today. And a great day.

I pain writing this because it is my local mountain and I love it. But it was a disappointment at Sunapee today. One open run, their signature black diamond, Blastoff. There was no snow report published at all. Which could have been helpful in advising people that only advanced territory was open. So two parking lots full of people show up. The headwall at the top of Blastoff was a mess. Novice skiers snowplowing among moguls and ice and faster skiers. Then there was the fact that there was little effort in Covid-19 protocols or the NH Governor’s order. I complained to a ski patrol and his indolence was obvious. The staff was superb. Their management needs a stern butt chewing.

Base

Sunapee had awesome conditions, as usual

Great conditions over the weekend. They don’t have the mountain fully open yet but that’s rig around the corner. Great little mountain for being so close to Boston.
