Great job going for it! Glad that my adventure inspired you to make some turns, eastern powder baby!
There are more rocks poking out now but that snow looks mighty tasty. Looks like you had a good day. See you up there next year -- or next month!

Mount Washington East Snowfields 5/24
Date Skied: 5/24/12
Ski Area: East Snowfields- Mount Washington
Conditions: Wet. Sunny. About 60 degrees.
Trip Report:
After reading Snowmonster's thread from a few days earlier, I decided to take the drive up to the top of Mt. Washington to do some exploring. I got a little lost looking for snow, as it was my first time to the summit since I was a child and there was not much snow left to be had. The bumps and foot holes to which Snowmonster alluded were almost completely gone (with the exception of some small bumps at the bottom of the second snow patch). It was a gr eat time and I look forward to returning next year with more snow. Special thanks to Snowmonster for showing me that this was still possible.Last edited by eastern powder baby; May 25, 2012 at 9:59 PM.

Thanks man. It definitely did seem thinner than when you went. The warm weather did not help for sure. It was a great day and I hope to get out again if I have the chance.

Based on the youtube vid that the Mount Washington Observatory put up about a storm that rolled across the top of the rock pile this morning, i'm guessin that snow patch took a bit of a hit today

I skied them on Saturday and they were already quite a bit smaller. By Monday they had shrunk quite a bit, heavy rain probably signals the end of worthwhile skiing up there. The Bowl still had some reasonable terrain, however, depending on your definition of reasonable.
