Hell of a turn around for VT. Snow, lows down to 3 deg. I guess winter isn't done with them yet. And just in time for me to finaly get up there.

Glad to hear. I'd rather ski firm groomed snow than nothing at all.

billski · Mar 14, 2007, 9:52 AM

good. I'd rather ski than paddle

at least this time of year.

What time are you getting in on Saturday, Slug?

snowmonster · Mar 14, 2007, 11:08 AM

That's some cold front, alright. Taking my one-day spring break and heading for MRG on Friday then K or Pico on Saturday. Old Man Winter ain't goin' nowhere without a fight!

This coming cold front will be a major challenge to groomers. Judging by conditions this past weekend, "firm" is a polite understatement.
I think we'll be looking at major ice and death cookies. I just got a pair of new boots and I'm really itching to try them but I think I'll skip this weekend in favor of some other fun.

Hope it gets here soon....63 F in Rutland and 58 F in Montpelier. Our "two month" ski season has come to an end

For now at least.

Tell me about it...I wonder if I should rent ice skates for when I go to Pats Peak this weekend.

Oh no. The sky is falling crowd is back. This is par for the course in March, folks. It's a variable month.

Some of us just like to complain...

Actually, weather in New England can be variable during any month, and even with the NCP I'll have better conditions than I had in January. Just double-check my edges and I'll be all set.
