A good friend from Maine (who now lives in Montana) does a Christmas ski tour every year, no matter how bad the New England winter is. He has sent pictures before of skiing on grass using spray cooking oil as lube. This year was not a whole lot better.
An inch and a half of rain on the snow froze hard. He says "the snow was as soft as scrap iron. But we were sliding downhill on skis, getting another New England lesson that "any skiing is good skiing. See videos of the prime conditions here:
