Skiing Sugarloaf January 19, 2023

Today was the best day of the season so far, and its looking to improve further this weekend into next week with natural snow and persisting low temps. If you are headed up this coming Saturday, you are in for a real treat as its going to be a bluebird day after a snow day which = epic groomer conditions. I forgot my chest mount and ended up using my helmet mount today, which made for a very stable image but at the cost of not being able to see my skis very well. I like being able to see my skis and I generally like the chest mount, but I am thinking of using a wider field of view setting and taking one more try with the helmet mount because I do like how this came out with the exception of not being able to see my skis. Another drawback of the helmet mount is that I have to blindly clamp the gopro to it each run, which involves taking my gloves off and fiddling around with it. That is no fun at the top of timberline or skyline where the wind is cold and whipping. Let me know of any suggestions!
As far as a terrain update, there is quite a bit open now including gondi extension like you see in the video. There are snowmaking piles on white nitro, just not the extension yet. I expect nitro will be open by saturday or sunday. Bubblecuffer, boomauger, and ripsaw will all be skiing great with good coverage by saturday. They are pretty covered already and another 6 inches will be excellent on them. Brackett probably needs 2 more storms or one big dump and that will open up too. My advice would be that if you only take ski trips once or twice a year, wait until midweek next week and you will not be dissappointed. See you up there!
