Sundown was just okay in Wednesday. They made alot of snow to recover from the thaw and groomed it out too early. Lots of ice chunk's. It was my son's birthday, so it was just nice to be out with him.
Barkhamsted Reservoir was completely frozen over when I went past it on Wednesday skiing at Sundown. The ice looked thick, but cracked near the shoreline. The level fluctuates with water usage, so this wasn't suprising.
There are so many activities to do during the winter months. Instead of waiting for snow to fall in you're neighborhood, travel a bit to downhill ski, cross country ski, ice fish, snowmobile, etc.
Ice fishing we have as well as limited snowmobiling on some DEEP land. But it's definitely more reliable further north. I used to rent sleds in Maine around the Stratton area. Also rented in the Whiteface area.
The 70F weather we had only closed one ski area, Magic Mountain, more so for unsafe conditions than lack of snowcover. Nobody in Connecticut lost trails.
It's only January 22nd, Winter still has two months to go. Let's see what February does. 24.25" of snow here so far this season. Last year was 40" total. Can't complain right now, full snowcover and lows near zero the last two days. Beautiful weather since Saturday.
