Date Skied: 04/12/08 11:45 am to 4:00pm
Resort: Mount Snow
Conditions: Spring Snow, sun, some clouds
Trip Report:
Saturday was an excellent day. I arrived at 11:30 and it was sun /mixed clouds. Driving up was a different story. It looked like it was going to be a “wash” out day when driving past Mt Tom. By the time I was near Greenfield, the weather cleared. The temp when I arrived was 60.

I headed over to North Face first. I skied Olympic, Chute, Fallen Timbers, Plummet and Jaws. Around 3:00pm they roped of Jaws.

This was my first time skiing Ripcord for the season. A few bumps on the upper section and the rest was just steep.

Today the rock skis came out. Skiing on Unlce’s I found the most remnants from this past winter’s winds (limbs, bark, pine needles) being uncovered.

Main mountain had plenty of coverage, with a few bare spots.

It was a great day for me to wrap up the 07/08 season.

Here are some pix I took:

Nice TR...how much Natural Snow is on the ground up there?

I would say on the mountain there is at least 2 feet left if not more.
