Thanks for the links and suggestions everyone. I'm going to do a little research on this stuff to see what works best for me. It seems like there are lots of options out there!

Cool thank you. I'll take a look.

I am planning on doing some multi-day hikes/camps this year and I have never done this before. My big concern is having enough water and staying hydrated since I obviously can't carry enough to last...

I didn't get why Stein's is marked as dbl black. Not really steep, no rocks, stumps, or cliffs. Odd. Great day though. Way to make the trip for the last hurrah!

Wow!!! Lots of snow up there still and no lift line! Big contrast to Sugarbush this weekend. Lines were 20-30 mins!

Solid Day with you Cornhead! Really enjoyed making turns and conversation! Maybe Tucks soon?

I made the SugarBush FB page too!

Anyone know if SB ok with people hiking to other trails which might have cover this weekend?

I'll expect a zoo so anything less will be a blessing!

I wonder if SB is cool with people hiking over to other trails?

Yeah I think I'm gonna go tomorrow. They announced today they still plan on opening so I'm not gonna pass up free lift service!

No idea. Free lift though. SB get points in my book.

It's been warm up here. Who know what things will look like by the weekend.

SB just sent out a facebook post saying that IF they open for May 4-5th weekend it will be FREE to ski. Awesome!!

"We will be closing this Sunday at 5pm. HOWEVER, if conditions allow which we...

Haha this is too good!

Nice!!

Maybe it was higher. It depends where you drop it from and how fast you go. There is a place in the center of the rock that is lower than 15 but I was going off just skiers right of that point which...

Haha nope. I've never skied in shorts even on warm spring days.

If I buy a lift ticket I'll probably ski the resort all morning and then hike up to the chin late AM or early PM. It partly depends on snow conditions. It's supposed to be cold up there Saturday...

Maybe 15 feet. North side of the chin.

Sunday looks like the nicer day for sure. Jay is awesome in the spring (and anytime) but Mansfield is calling my name.

This is the last weekend to access the chin via a lift and short hike. I'll be up there maybe some of you guys will to. =)

Best place in VT to ski.

Here's a shot from my cam 2 weeks back.

This is your best advice regardless of ski type or width.

Let me know guys. I'll be up there.

Currently winds are looking calmer on Sunday.

***EDIT- Meant to quote Steamboat's last post here***

True but I still love that I can get a single ride at Smuggs. I wish more resorts did this.

It's not that bad of a hike between the two...

I love the runs under the lifts at Smuggs! Tons of great rocks to throw yourself off!

Yeah it would have been fun. Maybe another time. My season isn't over yet!

There was plenty of snow in the notch until the very end of the run out on 108 but I never had to remove my skis. The...

Actually 12 dollars! I get a single ride frequently and did so yesterday. Sometimes I head up Madonna then traverse (sometimes bushwhack) the ridge from madonna to sterling and hang out on the pond,...
