I wouldn't say that, but regardless for me, next weekend is a work one. I bet K is open next weekend and without walking required to boot.

55 after two great, tiring days on Superstar. May just get to my goal of 60. Didn't think it was possible as of March. We will see if SS has 5 days of lift served left in it! Then some hiking.

My last day on the slopes was April 23. I had really hoped to get a few more days in afterwards but it just didn't happen. Partially my fault for not driving up by myself as I normally do & partially due to being disappointed by others who said they would go & then backed out at the last minute. I really didn't want to make the long schlepp up to VT. by myself to ski only one trail but in after thought I should have.
Anyway my final tally for the season is:
37
30 - Killington
2 - Stowe
3 - Sugarbush
1 - Pico
1 - Stratton

That's a solid season.
No June skiing?
I've been fishing and hiking since the beginning of April but if it's any motivation for you I ended my season at 46 days.
No lift served at least. I'd like to do a day or two in June, but I am pretty booked up and my wife will kill me if I keep skiing

I will be shocked if you don't sneak a day or 2 in.

Final tally 47 three days short of our goal.
So, you met the challenge and TB did not.

Trying to get out a few more times. I met up with another member from TGR last month and we skied "Dead Dog Couloir" on Torrey's Peak (Center of photo)
If you look closely you can see we weren't the only ones interested in this line
Are we there yet?
Our goal was to start skiing down no later than 8:30AM. As we got close to the top, the snow started getting softer and softer at an exponential rate, so we didn't get much in terms of pics going down since we just wanted to get the hell out of there. We made our descent at 8:40 AM. As it turned out the snow was still too soft then. I was seriously struggling to hold an edge and was probably peeling 1-2 inches of snow off of the surface with every turn. The middle of the run had a big runnel we had to stay clear of as well. In the end I would say it was worth it for the experience, but definitely not the risk. Future summits will need to be done earlier.

Suprisingly, this isn't as bad as it looks. You'd think you'd see this on the way up, but all the rocks are recessed a couple of inches in the snow so you don't see it when looking up. For this reason, I was amazingly able to ski over the majority of the rocks without hitting too many.
Eager to return in winter when conditions are better
Way to get after it. What time did you start the climb?

Is St Mary's still skiable?

We stepped off around 4:15AM from the trailhead. The base of the couloir is about 2 miles away, I think we swapped over to ski boots and started hiking up the base of the line around 5:45.
Random stats (I forgot to turn the app back on for the descent, hence the straight line)
Birds eye view. A-Basin at the very top left of photo for perspective
