Loon Mountain Community

A network for skiers & riders passionate about snow sports

Favorite Trail ? That's an interesting question . Each trail as you know has it's own challenge and each trail gets the smiles per hour up . I'd like to share my favorite run , but it's not just one trail . It's one experience . I start at the Gondola then out the door at the summit , step into my bindings , point em down Exodus and slowly pick up speed , take a sharp right and launch onto Angel Street , no hanging around at the headwall , ski's leave the snow for a second and then hit the snow again and then I just rip it up on my way to the North Peak Lift , up the NorthPeak Lift , take a right off the top and head down Sunset , skiers left or right , don't matter , either side has it's own rewards . Cruizin around the backside of the GoGo , slowing down a little as I pass the Tote Road Lift on my left , then taking that sharp right onto Upper Picked Rock Trail , Smooth cruizin till I near the Grand Junction , where I put on the brakes as I cross over on to Lower Picked Rock Trail , ya sure it's an Intermediate trail , but mid-week when it's wide open , I like to open em up and make long wide GS style turns . The trail's always a fun run , take that left near the bottom and head over to the Kancamagus Quad Lift , unloading at the top of the Quad taking the left into the Grand Junction , then sharp left under the GoGo , cruize Pickeroon Trail for a blink of an eye then right onto the Seven Brothers Trail , entering just downhill from the unload area of the Seven Brothers Lift and just let em ride , taking a couple of them rollers on the skiers right , if the little pipe is open I may dip in there , nothing crazy , just ride the walls up and down , then back to the Gondola .... whew...... back to where I started and it only took 25 minutes . Ya it's quick , but it's not about miles per hour , as my friends Dave and Skid say , It's about "SMILES per HOUR " , You can get em at Loon , all day !!!!!

I am a Wyoming girl, now residing in Colorado. I have heard about Loon mountain from a friend that suggested I visit Loons' website. The first article I came upon was the one by Joe Lancelotta. I am not a skier yet, but after reading Mr Lancelottas article, I am definately thinking about becoming one. He made Loon and skiing sound like a "rush" I would love to experience!!

Forecast: Continued mixed precip Monday, gradually ending in the afternoon. Windy with temps in the 30s.
Comments: Keep doing doing your snow dance, please. Some predictions are that we could see 4-7 inches of snow in the base areas and 20-30 inches above 2000 feet! Add those accumulations to our current base depths and the post-storm skiing and riding will be epic! The plan is for all 49 trails, five glades and both half-pipes to be open tomorrow. Terrain Park Rangers will be re-working all five parks and hope to get some open by afternoon. The sun returns early in the week, along with temperatures in the upper 40s, just in time for Wednesday's "Luck of the Irish" race. Saturday is the Governor's Cup and next Sunday is the Cardboard Box race. A lot happening over the last half of the month and we hope you're able to join us for the fun. Have a good one! -Bud
