Small patches at Gunstock, don't know about Sunapee.

I was in the Sunapee parking lot today, there were some strips of a few hundred yards here and there from what I could see from the lot, but if you're looking for more than that, not worth it.....not sure about the stuff you can't see from the lot...

The Sun Bowl looks like it's holding up well. At least as of Friday morning. From what I can see it looks skiiable top to bottom, maybe one short grass stretch. I was up there a week and a half ago and the front side wasn't holding up well, nothing really worthwhile left there I imagine. But if you drive up the access road to the Sun Bowl (by the groomer lot in the 3rd parking lot) you could probably make 1k laps of nearly continuous snow.

Anything left?

Sunapee is still holding on, at least the Wingding trail in the Sun Bowl. There are now 2 small breaks in the snow in the upper third, and you have to walk a bit at the bottom to get to snow.

Nothing continuous on the front side. Lynx might have the longest snow, but you have to hike a bunch to get there.

Alas, today's warmth probably means a couple of additional breaks will appear soon.

today saw the first hint of Black Flies near the bottom.

Thanks for the updates.

High value first posts and welcome, georgio and PaulT!

Sunapee is still OK, but going fast. On Tuesday, walked up Chipmunk - very spotty. Skied Bonanza to Hansen Chase. Bonanza is out at the top, but starts ~150 yds down as it crosses back under the lift. One or two walks, two long areas of continuous coverage. Couple pics: (that's my 7 y.o. daughter - not a bad way to spend a vacation day!)

Awesome stuff. Took my 12 yr old up to the Ravine this weekend for the first time. It's great reliving these firsts through their eyes. Well done.
