Went up to Ascutney today. Skin track was in great condition and there were at least 10 other people out there spinning laps. I ended up getting two myself. It's deep up there like you would expect, but there's a lot of scrub brush that's grown in since the place went out of business, even on the main trails. You kind of have to pick your line through it all.
That place is sweet and actually kinda steep. I wish I had gotten up there once or twice while it was still a resort. I do a lot of biking there in the summer, but this is the first time I've ever skied. There are a lot of 10-15 foot cliffs that'll go with just a little maintenance to the takeoff or landing (mostly just brush that needs to be tossed out of the way). Also, the old lift platforms could be fun to jib. I'm gonna try to make it back up next week at some point.
