Lakes are no longer snow... Just puddles with floating ice

In NH fields are toast, lakes are soaked and loosing snow by the minute! Not to say you can ride! But snowboards are tough, skiing is very wet.

went from this.........




To this


Still super fun to be out near April!

However the season on Mount Washington here in NH has just begun with over 24 inches of new snow!

Silver lake is slush. 6+ inches in spots .... Very wet


Ossippee lake is nice and hard granular ice ( very edgabke for skis ) snowboards are going to be tough

East side of Washington is the best for kiting really.... Just doesn't set up often wind wise.... But when it does..... It makes Mavericks (large wave) look like child's play

A healthy warning though.,, this year has been very dangerous on mt Washington and even now the avalanche danger is going to be a concern...

Snow cover is perfect!!
Mt Washington should be good
