was a good day. Crowds huge as expected. Haven't been in 3 years since i bailed on vail but local buddy got me ticket so was nice to be back. Between crowds and wind at one point, the wait was 23 minutes on quad, singles line was so long im sure it wasn't faster. by 10 i think i only had 5 runs in starting at 8. gondi got going, sensation, sunny spruce, crowds/lines got much better. made it to 3 with a decent parking lot lunch break and i only got 15 runs and 27 vert but the snow changed all day. Was amazing early then later you got a bit of everything. my last run was down nosedive at 245 and i swear i went thru 4 different types of snow. was wild. winds died down big time by lunch and was bluebird most of the day minus a few clouds early.

Wonder if crowds will still be there Thursday?

But then again I'm back Sunday.

But think about that..27k vert is a lot of vert for a crowded day. A lot of people not used to the place get wiped out by the 2000+ nonstop vertical.
It's a great place to get used to that kind of thing if you plan to ski places out west..especially in BC and Jackson which has huge 4000 + vert. And most places divide that in half with mid mountain lifts.
Kicking horse is the biggest ass kicker...no mid mount lifts.

Mountain was empty today, yesterday early on goat was amazing T2B. if you ran singles yesterday longest wait was about 12 mins. Soon as gondi and sensation open it was a few min wait….

How is Stowe skiing these days? Got 4 days to ski Epic places in NE from 3/23-26 and deciding how many of those days should be at Stowe.

 

[kingslug]

Well..I fly out 23rd which guarantees a big snowstorm!

 

[bbrk]

Looks like a fairly wintery week with at least 4-8" and the mountain is in great shape unless you're seeking powder turns off the toll road pod

 

[kingslug]

I'll know tuesday...hitting bolton tomorrow.

I’m banking on this, looks like a few days of rain and sleet right now.

Not sure where yo are seeing that. We will have snow off and on all week. Even today ended up being a good day. Stowe is the snow globe of the east.
