Cornhead and I skied Belleayre on Sat. 4/16/17. Great Sunny Warm, Bluebird day. Spring conditions, corn snow, not to mushy or stcky or grabby. Nice bumps. Stopped at famous Brooks BBQ in Oneonta on the way home.

Nice! Wish I hadn't decided against it.

Ha, my good deed for the day, that lady lost her pole over the edge of the trail somehow, I was able to retrieve it with my pole.

Skied Stowe 4/14- great day...all the headwalls open with usual choke points- surprised if the headwalls lasted the weekend. Plenty of snow still in woods and trails with favorable exposures.Couple of quick pics..

Skied Killington on Tues. 4/18/17. Lift tics are $75... But if you show a seasons pass or a lift ticket from another ski area you get 50% off midweek and 25% off on weekends. So I bought a lift ticket on Tues. for $37.50. Great spring conditions - Sunny, warm, corn snow.

Superstar was groomed but lower part bumps up fast in the sunny warm temps.

It was good while it lasted.

Superstar looks to have a lot of snow on it which is good, but that area around the second tower in the picture melts fast not sure if it will make it another month and a half - I am sure they will push snow around if they can. Hope they make it!

Zoomed in on the pic of Superstar taken on Tues. 4/18. This was groomed in the morning but bumped of fairly fast on a warm sunny day. Consider how big these bumps would/will get on a weekend day with many more skiers.

Especially since the Bear Mountain area will not be reopening this weekend as scheduled. (No snow remaining on connecting trails.)

Looks a lot better than it did last year this time and they made it to (an early) Memorial Day. Highline was closed by now, if I'm recalling correctly.

Yup, Superstar gets bumped up and bumped up pretty big, pretty early. If you get there right when lifts start spinning, it won't take more than a couple of hours before its getting bumped up... at least when Killington is down to only spinning the Superstar Quad. Certainly makes us snowboarders work, but it is good fun.

We might head up on Sunday to use the last of our MAX Pass tickets at Killington since this might be the last weekend there's terrain my wife can still handle (blue squares). Cascade and East Fall are both still open as well it looks like, so I assume/hope those will be groomed for Sunday AM. Maybe I'll try and get her over to Skyelark and Bittersweet also (blue squares) instead of just Great Northern. Right now it looks like Double Dipper is open too, but I'm assuming that's all moguls and not groomed - I'm sure the glades aren't in play either unfortunately.

Currently riding the box at Killington - overcast and gray with temps about 40 - the snow is nice and soft!

Bottom half of East Fall was in rough shape today. Highline was pretty bad too. Ovation required long muddy walk over to Superstar halfway down. On the bright side, plenty of snow remaining on Cascade (at least until the runout) and Superstar. Rime, Reason / Upper East Fall, Upper Double Dipper all in reasonable shape.

On my way to K, should be a great day!

Was too tired and not feeling well when I got up this AM so we bailed and slept in. It looks like Killington's main trails off of K1 may stay open through next week.

How do Cascade and Great Northern look?

K announced today that its the last day of operation for K-1 for the season - based on the farming I saw they had to do to get the run out from the bottom of Canyon Quad back to KBL and also on some of the connectors from Northridge over to Snowdon yesterday, and the forecast for this week, doesn't really surprise me.

Cascade will be skiable with a hike in/hike out next week for sure, and you could likely via the stairway get down and back to the Northridge pod next weekend, but other than that, it looked like a fair number of connecting meltouts are imminent in the temps later this week.

Still a ton of snow on Superstar and Skyelark, and Bittersweet with a little pushing of snow in a couple spots should be good to go next weekend as well

That's about what I expected. I thought they said they'd open K1 again next weekend but the lodge and peak lodge would be closed. I guess I read it wrong though.
