I've used various pairs of mittens over the years, never ones that are terribly expensive. My current pair ("Level" brand, not sure what model--they have a removable fleece liner and shell) may have been around $50 but that was on mountain at Killington when I had forgotten my mittens, so I...

The update overrode my settings. I had to see green. Thankfully, after 1 minute and a change of settings, my life is back in order.

The TFT page gives a link to a weather forecast for Jackson, NH. How much should I adjust the temps downwards to get a decent estimate for temps at Tucks? Just trying to figure out how I should pack/intend to dress on Sunday. I'm only taking a small day pack, so I can't fit many extra layers...

I'm thinking of planning a trip to Tuckerman Ravine the first weekend in May. It would be my first time. I realize that it's good to be flexible because of the weather, but was curious as to whether avalanches or other safety issues are a day-to-day issue at this time of year, or whether at...

Conditions: Icy. Ungroomed almost skiable (and mostly closed); groomed stuff edgeable but hard and slick. Weather: 20's, occasional snow/freezing rain Weather would've been totally fine mid-winter. Unfortunately, in the middle of the spring corn cycle, if it doesn't warm up a given day (or...

Conditions: Spring conditions Weather: Foggy up top in the morning, sun broke through at various times, partly cloudy other times, warm. Forecast was rain, so we really lucked out. Favorite runs of the day were Mall, Spillsville, and Paradise. All had nice spring bumps. Steins was also...

Anyone know what the outlook is for this week for northern VT (potentially skiing on the weekend)? The report on weather.gov doesn't look too promising with some r**n tomorrow and mixed precip later in the week.

Skied 6 days. It snowed at times throughout the trip but especially the last 2 days. For the first 4 days there was some very good snow to be had on the upper lifts, especially on the north-facing woods and chutes. The fifth day and especially the 6th day had more powder throughout and the...

Conditions: Woods: Tracked powder where I went; perhaps untracked in other places; trails: Loose snow; steeper parts and parts near the tops of the lifts were windblown and icy; some hard areas between soft moguls. Probably a little better overall than Sugarbush, but both were very good so...

Conditions: Trails: Soft loose snow, some icy/hard pack underneath in places; Woods: Soft, loose snow, better than trails. Overall a great day. Did a few runs off Castlerock skiing various woods routes for the top 2/3rds or so and the trails the rest of the way. Then did Slidebrook -- very...

Conditions: Ungroomed - soft, loose snow; thin cover Groomed - firm; ice, especially toward end of day on the trail under the triple Based on the snow Friday and the $25 liftopia ticket, I decided to give Plattekill a try for the first time rather than go to Hunter (where I've only been 4...

Anyone planning to be there?

Only got 4 runs in so didn't have a great sampling of the conditions, but the sample I got was pretty great (coming from someone who has to luck out to hit powder days :-( ) Conditions: Ungroomed trails: Powder, mostly tracked; some scratchy spots. Groomed: packed powder; Woods (I'm not an...

Conditions: Trails, ungroomed: Tracked powder, scratchy/ice underneath; Trails, groomed: Packed powder, I think, but skied there so little; Woods: Tracked powder, some scratchy parts but much better than ungroomed trails. As for trails, hit Spillsville, Liftline, top of Rumble, top half of...

Weather: Cold, but not as bad as yesterday at Gore despite what I thought was a worse forecast. Still cold enough I didn't want to attempt pictures. Conditions: Soft moguls on trails with snowmaking or what appeared to be recent snowmaking; hard packed/ice on most groomed trails or mogul...

Edit: 2008 not 2007. Can't change the subject. Weather: COLD! No pictures because I wasn't taking my hands out of my gloves :-) Conditions: Hard packed, soft man made snow/irregular moguls on ungroomed terrain. First time at Gore in years, after it having been my primary destination since...

Anyone planning on being there? I mentioned it in this thread in the main forum, but wanted to start this specific thread here since it might be the more appropriate place.

Conditions: Monday AM - frozen/loose granular on groomed, what I think were natural snow trails being a little softer; frozen granular on ungroomed. Monday PM - snow throughout the day led to a soft covering on top with a noticeable crust underneath Sunday - hard packed on groomed, some powder...

I've been criticized for giving trip reports that need to be read. So here is a report with very few words :-) Overall conditions: Wet snow on ungroomed; wet packed powder/spring-like on trails groomed in the past couple days. Weather: 30s(?); foggy Gallery link...

Date: 12/22/07 Location: Sugarbush South / Lincoln Peak, 10am - 3:30pm Conditions: Packed powder, soft, sometimes a little powder in the woods but mostly packed powder due to tracks Weather: overcast, 20s? Day #1. It was great to finally get out this season after reading all the reports...
