Glades GladesThe glades were closed following the rain event on the 23rd. The glades should be open following the Christmas Day storm
Moguls MogulsThere were no moguls I found however there was wind hold on Aurora Peak so I was not able to explore that area to see if there were moguls in that zone.
Terrain Park Terrain Park(s)There were terrain par features setup on T72 trail on North Peak where the normal terrain park is usually. I didn't get to see if the terrain park on Upper Sunday Punch was dismantled yet but I asked a skier and he said it was dismantled. That would mean that trail is clear of any elements now.

Food and Beverage Food and BeverageI had a pricey burrito at South Ridge from the Cilantro Burrito Bar. It was $12! I do realize food is expensive, but that much for a burrito? I could understand something like $9 or $10.
Comments CommentsI was at Sunday River for about 4 hours that day from 10 to 2. It was very good since we had a rain and sleet event the previous day. The best trail was Tempest off the White Cap Quad.

My review of all the peaks:

Aurora:
It was closed due to wind and was unable to access this peak.

Spruce Peak:
I was happy with the way American Express was groomed that day because of the rain and it was halfway decent to carve your edges into the snow. I was also happy with the trail conditions on this peak.

North Peak:
Throughout the season I've been disappointed with North Peak because of how quick this are gets skied off. It was very icy on trails like Dream Maker and Grand Rapids began being skied off by 11AM. I would recommend staying off this peak till we receive the Christmas Day Storm.


Barker and Locke Mountain:
I skied a couple runs down the Cascade Trail and it was not groomed the night before so it was icy but I was impressed with the way this trail was still even if it wasn't groomed. I was able to carve great turns into the snow and was happy about the way this trail was all in all.


White Cap and White Heat Area:
This section of the mountain was incredible. I skied the Tempest trail down to the White Heat Quad where I went up to Obsession. This trail was terrific because it was well groomed that night. I noticed that the White Heat area has snow guns ready to go on the "White Heat" trail so expect this double black diamond trail to be open soon (within a week or two).

Great day! Looking forward to a great Christmas Vacation Week!
