Both northern and southern VT weather predictions now are for rain Fri/Sat followed by lows at or above freezing (32/34 deg), highs in the high 40s low 50s for Sun/Mon. If that translates to good bump skiing, great.
Yes. 40s/50s on the hill translates into good bump skiing. I suspect Glen and Bush will still be at 100% minus Mount Ellen (at least Glen will be for sure based on my experience last week). Check MRG's operating hours, I am pretty sure they are still open M-F that week but I can not recall for sure. No guarantees but you will have some reports coming out of there on Sunday to help assist you make the call. I'll be driving 2.5 hours each way to MRG this weekend, no brainer for me.
