No, no, no. You're doing it all wrong.
You're supposed to ask how everyone thinks the conditions will be, and what will be open.
Quite the opposite, actually. The Jungle and Birches are tighter and rockier than the glades that dump out into East Bowl. If the these two aren't good, that is more reason, not less, to sample the glades on the other side of the mountain. If you don't like run outs that require skating and poling, that is a completely different reason to avoid those glades that has nothing to do with conditions.The Jungle and Birches on skiers left are two glades to sample the conditions. If they aren't any good I wouldn't bother with the glades to skiers right as the exit of these glades is a long cat track.

Fingers crossed for a Sunday/Monday powder day!
Making my first trip to Burke for the first part of Feb Vaca. Let me know if anyone is around. Will have kids with me, but they'll be in lessons a couple mornings and would love a tour from a local.
I should have specified this would be for a surface check more than a coverage check. My experience is that coverage is good in most of the northern woods but the surface is dust on crust. After seeing the report that they're closed anyway, it's probably best to stay out of the woods at Burke all together.
Really digging Burke. Dixieland is ROD.
