Yesterday was one of the best blue-bird days I can remember in the last
couple of seasons. Its been over 10 days since the big storm but the snow is
staying in great condition with the exception of lower elevation south facing
slopes which have been getting a little manky. The snow reminded me a lot of
February in Colorado with some untracked powder stashes still out there,
chalky bumps and dry texture overall even though it felt downright hot
outside; skiing in temps in the 20’s under full sun with no wind feels like skiing
in an oven. I’ve forgotten how much I’d adapted to the 0F with 40mph wind
type of weather conditions. Colors on the mountain and the surrounding
Green Mtns were amazingly clear. The deep blue sky almost looked fake until
some high clouds rolled in during the afternoon, creating a more milky-like sky.
Then we did a few runs between Bypass, upper Goatdive, Midway/Pump-house
woods, and stayed in the hardwoods all the way to the bottom. Next
sequence is Dave’s Bypass pillow line…drop over deadfall, land and immediately
hit the diving board into the meadow below.
