Skied Mt. Daniel on Saturday; continuous snow from just below the East summit to Peggy's Ponds.  Awesome conditions for August, with almost no suncups and soft, rippable snow.  Should be good for another week (max); get there early as it was just about perfect when I dropped in at 9:45 AM.  The only negatives were horrible mosquitos at Peggy's Pond and the most potholed 10 miles of gravel road I've ever driven.  I was solo so only scenics:





Cool photos.  The lake in the lower left of the last picture looks like an eyeball.

Eyeball lake - looks like you can ski right to it.

Thanks for update.   Looks like its good for another trip for me.  I love that ski.
