Mmm, eggrolls. Now, if only they delivered so I wouldn't have to venture out in the storm.

Anyone know how the Catskills faired? Plattekill was calling for snow but the weather line looked more like sleet. Not a good year for Pkill (so far).

Skied nearly 10" of fresh fluff in Central, MA today. Ok, maybe only 7 or 8, but hey, I was using the Killington Ruler. We actually had bumps developing at Pine Ridge in Barre.

Freezing NCP down here 3/4 of an inch on top of 4 inches of snow...skied "K" yesterday(1.7.05 fri). conditions were super.
bumped up nice and every trail that was open had carveable snow on it.
or else it was the Atomic Metron B-5 skis(thoes suckers hold like glue)

Any word on how Jiminy fared today? It looks like they were in the snow area all day. I guess I'll have to go check it out tomorrow...

Hit Mt Snow today - probalby best day of the season so far for me(kinda sad when the best day is at Mt Snow in Jan after 2 back to back 6" storms

)

Weather was great, crowds were there, but managable (barely)...although I kept waiting for everyone to go home, but there were still lines at 3:15 when I gave it up.

Snow was nice and light, very dry pow

. Typical Mt Snow - most trails were mowed down, but stashes were easily found. Best runs of the day were on less than open trails. (only ducked 2 ropes late in the day on Uncles and one of the ledge/lodge upper/middle type trails not sure of exact name.) Overall most trails were soft, with nice fluff on the sides.

Guns were blowingin certain spots, I guess getting ready to compensate for the warm up mid week ahead of the holiday weekend.
