I was watching this storm for a few days and took today off from work to get at the goods, wherever they may be! Was originally hoping for a major Vulcan deposit on Magic Mtn but that really didn't happen so a new game plan had to be developed. The drive up on Wednesday evening was extremely depressing!! It rained, it poured and then it poured harder. Basically drove up in a deluge and never saw a transition to snow. When I arrived in Ludlow around 9pm the precipitation had just started to switch back to snow and the 5" on the ground from earlier in the day had become water logged and primed to freeze solid. Was definitely rethinking my decision to head north and somewhat depressed that I had wasted a vacation day.
Regardless, woke up first thing and assessed the conditions. Listening to the wind howl, I was perplexed and didn't think any lifts would run! We took a chance on Killington and were rewarded with perhaps the best day of the season! 25" of blower on a Thursday in March, Score!!
Skied from 9:30 until 4pm and made are way around a ton of terrain. Regardless of your choice everything was simply amazing. The snow was deep in the woods, ridiculously deep and we spent much of our time there! Chop-Chop held some of the most memorable turns but, the plethora of other trees skied were equally as good.
Even the trails were amazing! Can't remember making turns down Killington's signature runs in better conditions. Escapade, Dipper, Fiddle and others skied without a hint of scratch. Even hit up a couple butter your bread runs in the
south ridge area!
Epic Day!!!!

Sweet! Looks a lot like Plattekill did after the Feb 13 storm. Even better. I can't wait to head up there on Tuesday night. Hopefully it will still be great. I hear there is more to come and I'm hoping that the Wed-Thursday event that is forecast is white, not wet! I'm praying that the elevation will be our friend. 
Can't base it on what's down in the valley.
