www.skinh.com reports the famous Wildcat Ski Area ... aka 'the Cat' ......
http://www.skiwildcat.com/the-mounta...tain-cams.aspx has just eight out of its 48 trails now open. A lift ticket costs $99.
So, if you go to Wildcat maybe you want to load up your car with fresh snow from southern NH and bring snow to Wildcat trails. ....
.... which has 1/6 of their trails open, and 5/6 of their trails are closed ..... 5/6 closed! ...
Today is a very sunny Saturday with single digit temps, just a small number open ski trails on Wildcat, but what a super view across to Mount Washington with Tuckerman and Huntington Ravines ....
https://www.mountwashington.org/prem...s/ravines.aspx ... today's Mt W cam shot is brite blue, sunny, not a single cloud ..... like a publicity promo, best shot.
A great day to go do a short planned day hike, on a trail in the huge forested mountain area .....
www.fs.usda.gov/whitemountain .... and say goodbye to the crowds of skiers.
Supposedly, Wildcat's lack of snow problem has to do with their old snowmaking system and with all the snowmaking employees banding together and walking off the job for unknown reason? So, what's up with Wildcat ...... anyone know? See 'Tough early sledding for Vail at Attitash, Wildcat' .... Jan 5, 2022: Conway Daily Sun.
