    Hey Scotty--thanks for the kind words. I just got back from the slopes today (Gunstock) and am beat. Just a quick overview note--high pressure/dry early this work week, then colder/unsettled end of week/into weekend (possible accumulations with a couple of weak systems and some upslope potential)--then high pressure again when you're looking to head out--probably a bit of a warmup too. That's about it for now--time for hot shower/chili/Bruins.

    Just saw your post this morning. If you catch this before heading out, yes, Gunstock was great! I haven't skied there in over 20 years so the improvements I noticed are not as big a deal to most everyone here. As for conditions--decent--frozen/loose granular loosened up for the afternoon...a little scraped down with sugar batches in spots but probably the same for most southern areas. I've avoided Saturday skiing for a long time too so I was expecting long lines--really no more than 5 minutes for Panorama Express...even less for everything else. Great terrain although I avoided blacks for my son. Fun to watch zip liners and the big air bag. Just a fun, fun mountain. I'll work up a trip report today and see how some phone pics came out. Hope you have fun today--the sun will feel good going up the Panorama and northwest breezes should be fairly light. Demo days this weekend too.

    Glad you got out mr. Winn,and thanks for getting back to me. So I guess North Vt and south Vt will pretty much have same snow changes this week?
