mount snow 4-14 monday

powhunter · Apr 14, 2008, 5:15 PM

part!ly sunny....40ish all day.....saddled up around 11..Proceeded to ego ally and started lapping it...nice lines, bumps were soft and forgiving!! Met up with Dennis and we took a little tour on the north face. Did a run down chute which was pretty firm and flat...nothing looked too interesting...so we headed back to the main face.....Groomers left a few lines on exhibition. so we hit them and crossed over thru the woods back to ego.....Did a run down ledge which was getting a little gnar but skiiable and fun!! Took a little tour thru sap tapper which has some snow, but also a lot of schrapnel sticking out!!! The rest of the afternoon we just lapped ego until are heads were spinning...Nice spring conditions....Should be great the rest of the week as the temps get warmer.....Good ripping with ya Dennis!!!!! Stopped at the Vermont deli and picked up some pulled pork, mac and cheese and some Choc chip cookies as a peace offering to the girlfriend (or as greg would call it "a deposit into the wife bank") Should be great thursday for you guys!!!

Sounds rad! You sounded stoked when I talked to you. Psyched!

Nice report....

The Vermont Deli you speak of...and others have mentioned...is that the place on RT 9 as you head west out of Brattleboro?

All this talk is going to get me up there again just to hit those bumps on Ego.

Although, I heard a bad rumor than next weeknd will be their last due to lack of visits : (

You have been pushing folks to keep skier traffic up so they can remain open in a lot of your posts. Are you just a Mt. Snow loyalist or do you have connections to the area? Just curious

If it's the latter, you can tell the management that if they draw a line in the sand and say the 27th is it, they're sure to get 8 to 12 AZers for an outing.

The Vermont Deli ROCKS!!! Stop there all the time.

Im pulling the trigger on a Mt. Snow pass....Killington really pissed me off this year...most everytime I went up there were no decent bumps to ski. except double fall line bumps on SS....They close early...F us over on BMMC...On the other hand snow opens early...with killer snowmaking....then they seed bump runs in the spring for us mogul fanatics, they got my respect and my skiing $$$
