Lots of powder out there,” says Greg Kwasnik a spokesman for Loon Mountain. “I just went out and did a couple of runs. The winds aren’t that bad. They have not affected us at all.”</p><p>Kwasnik says crowds are about normal for a Saturday and he thinks some skiers probably decided to stay home because of the heavy snowfall in the southern part of the state.</p> Sat, 09 Feb 2013 15:02:02 +0000 Chris Jensen 21665 at http://nhpr.org http://nhpr.org/post/north-country-getting-easy-so-far <p>By Saturday morning it appeared the North Country had been spared the worst of the storm.</p><p>Only four inches of snow was reported in Lancaster and about nine inches in Randolph, according to spotter reports filed with the National Weather Service office in Gray Maine.
