Mount Snow 3-17-13

[ss20]

Conditions: Hard pack
Time: 8:30-4:00
Weather: AM: Partly cloudy, 18 degrees/PM: Sunny, windy, 25 degrees

I walked right up to the Tumbleweed chair. I went over to the Main Base and took the Bluebird which had almost no line. Pretty odd for 9:00 on a Saturday. Took a few runs down the Main Face. Ego Alley had a dusting of snow on top of a groomed surface. By 10:00 I was over at the North Face. The trees next to Olympic were worth some re-dos. FreeFall moguls are still icy, but gripable. Same over on Beartrap. Had lunch, went to Carinthia for a few laps on Nitro. Went back to the North Face, and ended with high-speed turns down South Bowl and Ridge. The surface never really got scraped off on any trails. Light crowd for a Sunday holiday. Sunbrook naturals are shot, but One More Time had great cover. Going to be a great weekend with 8-16 inches of snow expected! Heads up, it was the final day for the Sundance lodge, and my final day at Mt. Snow for 2013
Expect some footage of Ripcord and Olympic trees tomorrow.

Final day??? Will you at least ski some more local ski areas for the rest of the season?

Nice TR. I hit the trees off Olympic Saturday. They skied fast. Still found a little untracked in there...althought under the fresh was really firm. I thought yesterday was a bit nicer than Saturday since the sun was out. Crazy difference in weather; it was more like mid February than March.

NWS now calling for 18-24" here with the storm! Mtn ops plans to flatten out most of the closed naturals ahead of the storm later today (got some nice suprise cord on Hop this morning already!) Should be back to 100% open by Wed

Trees off Oylimpic.

Conrad, Okemo this Saturday is the final day of my season. I might be able to hit Mohawk Mountain for their FREE day, which is closing day. Also, I was able to photograph Sunbrook. Ego and Sundance were not running.

Trials are great. It's cool how it goes from Evergreens to Deciduous from top to bottom.

When I film I try to go without stopping. Gotta keep the customer satisfied!:grin:
By this late in the season my legs can keep me going till 4 as long as I do 2 or less bump runs per hour. Yeah, it's weird!

 

[Newpylong]

oh yeah bumps will take runs off for sure lol.
