Skied Roundtop today.  Conditions were pretty good for as warm as it has been.  Started off fast and loud...but softened up nicely.

I'm curious if anyone knows about the trail (two entrances) to skiers left of Powderhorn?  I recall seeing it a couple of years ago and it seems maintained enough to not have trees overgrowing.  Was it a part of some planned expansion, or is it an especially wide easement for snowmaking pipes?  On google, it seems to veer off toward a pond.

Separately, I noted a couple of runs not on the current map.  Bunker Hill and Palisades Glade (yes, tree skiing where they just let the snowmaking blow into the trees off the side of Lower Lafayette)  I always find it interesting when ski areas "abandon" some runs, name them differently, or just don't mark them.  Also find the local names of unmarked runs fascinating (in my "ski-bum" days, I had many Hickster-named runs at Big Mountain in Montana)
