I haven't been in. I did talk to ski patroller on Saturday. She said they're very thin in spots with lots of blowdowns with a few rocks that are just barely covered in a dusting of snow. But I heard some other people say they were fun. The wind last week was blowing snow that way so maybe they filled in. I'd probably not bring your newest board(s).

I did see people on Family Secret under the Kennebago Quad and it looked and sounded ok. I did hit some of the lower natural trails like Lower Professor and Golden Smelt and they were pretty fun on Saturday.

The uphill trail to above the warming hut at the top of the Rangeley and lower Hudson Highway are closed because of blowdowns.

They’ve had this bolded in the mtn rpt for about the last week - winter glade work!

“As glades begin to open, please be alert for low lying branches under the snow due to downfall that occurred earlier in the season. We wouldn’t open these trails if they were not deemed safe, so simply keep your eyes out and ski conservatively. Take it slow! Patrollers will also be operating chainsaws in the open glade terrain to continue clearing our favorite runs. Watch for signs and give them space.
Ski season is usually too short

definitely thin but I thought Lower Thrombosis skied pretty well last weekend. Some snow this week but with MLK crowds any fluffy snow will get skied out quickly... but still will be fun.

Daily report states the uphill trail is open to the top of the Kennebago.
