    Stratton Mountain - New Snow Bowl HSQ

    Thanks! Appreciate the prompt response. May roll the dice and hit Stratton as I just skies snow last weekend. Usually strattton and okemo are light years ahead of snow at this point but snow has been aggressive. All that might be irrelevant if it keeps snowing. How is Stratton’s rope drop...

    Stratton Mountain - New Snow Bowl HSQ

    So- I often ski Black Friday at Stratton go lap ursa and get my ski legs- usually minimal crowd. This year have to go sat instead- how busy should I expect it to be? I never ski Stratton except early season and it usually isn’t bad- it I’ve heard winter weekends can be crazy. Thanks for any...

    Mount Snow: Inside Track

    Not often you get to hit ledge in novie... yesterday was good. Firm but edgeable up top-creamy at the bottom. Reserved was manky but in a good way to keep you from bottoming out. Used GSX all day until they closed it than small wait on the the bluebird for last couple- 4-5 groups.

    Okemo 12/12/16

    Yeah- fresh snow taxes the legs a bit, no doubt. I'd rather have fewer runs like you did and better snow

    Okemo 12/12/16

    Was there day before on 12-11... firm and fast- they obviously had been focusing on expanding rather than resurfacing as World Cup and their early openers were thin and firm... JG stuff was deeper with death cookies that would soon be skied in. Glad they got some snow- the southern greens are...

    Stowe 12.9.16

    Stowe 12.9.16 Chilly (10 at the summit) and windy (25-40) with varying rates of snow throughout the day. Powder and cut up powder and big soft bumps -with wind and snow squall refreshes.Simply a wonderful skiing surface. On natty trails - which was pretty much everything- didn't here a...

    2016-2017 Resort Opening Dates

    Sundown in CT? While this topic in years past would have its own multi-page thread - we'll settle for this. Not that I have been paying too much attention but it seems like sundown has become more conservative or less aggressive in early season snowmaking recently. Granted weather has sucked-...

    Killington 11/19/16

    Day 1 in the books- spring goodness from bell to bell- bluebird skies and upper 50's at least. Soft and bumpy and quite crowded.

    Don't think they groomed- but trail report said yes- I didn't get up there until 915 or so and bums were building. Quick

    Stowe 4/916

    Radar returns Friday night suggested northern greens getting some snow again- so off i went say morning. Lots of untracked on the reserved trails and in north facing trees. Stayed chilly up top so packed powder to relatively light powder up top- ice to rock underneath- mid mountain a little...
