Great report thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to trying Mt Snow one weekend this season, it looks pretty good up there.

That sounds good, looking forward to coming back later in the season! Thanks for the insight.

Do they allow Westway to get bumped up?

K27 which wasn't open yet looks really good too. I was reading that there are sections at the head wall with over 44 degree pitches. I'm not sure how accurate that is but if true K27 would be the...

I'm looking forward to trying Hunter north and west.

Yep they should have kept it Scotch Mist, that was a good one!

It would be interesting to know the back story of the name changes to, from, than back to Rush. In any event, it's one of the best runs at Sugarbush.

Well you get credit for a good time frame. Its 20 years this season that the trail has been named Black Diamond Rush!

Tony

Isn't Black Diamond rush the full name of the run listed on the trail map, or is it just "un-cool" to use the trail's actual name?

The hardest part of Rumble is the drop in at the first part of the trail. I've noticed that it can be skied around but that's cheating! The hardest part of Liftline can be skied around too. I agree...

I get what your saying regarding insurance but how would you explain Plattekill and the VT resorts, do they pay lower insurance premiums? The owners of Magic and Plattekill are as nimble as can be...

So many trip reports have been written regarding Hunter mountain so I'm not going to add much other than we were all pleasantly surprised. We gave it a try since Hunter was added to the Epic pass and...

I got on to Middle Earth last year thinking it would be a breather from skiing Rumble and Liftline. Other than the start, the whole run is a sea of non stop moguls, it kind of reminded me of a...

To me Liftline is more challenging than Upper FIS. Sure the second half of Liftline is much tamer than the top half but that top section of Liftline is no joke. When you factor in the vert it is the...

My favorite is Rumble and the woods just to the left of Paradise.

We are up at Hunter for the first time ever this weekend. I had low expectations considering all of the complaints and crowding issues we've heard but decided to try it this weekend since the...

It's not a big deal to me as the side country at Stowe is a tracked out open secret anyway but I can post a link to a map of all of Stowe's well known side country if it's ok with the administrators...

I was at Jay last year within the last week of April and 80% of the mountain was open. 3 days beforehand they were 100% open which is pretty incredible for that late in the season especially when you...

I was lucky enough to be at Sugarbush the weekend in March last year when they got 2 feet of snow. The waits were long on that Saturday and Sunday but it wasn't due to wind holds. There was an...

I've never been to Whiteface but Stowe happens to be my family's favorite place to ski in the east. If you factor in lodging, restaurants, the ease of lapping Mt Mansfield from the four runner quad,...

Why has making money through the culmination of someone's hard work become a dirty word? Isn't that the whole point of working??? Unfortunately Win a shot like that at you is the new world we live...

10 days is a long time at any eastern resort ski area. If you want to stay exclusively on the Epic pass Mt Snow, Okemo, and Spruce Peak at Stowe are a beginner/intermediates dream. I would try and...

I bought the Epic local passes this year and have so far planned Hunter, MRG, Stowe, Jay Peak, Keystone, Breckenridge, Vail, and Beaver Creek. We are going to do a trip in April as well at an epic...

Thanks for the report. It looks like Killington's snow making capabilities are pretty amazing. They had rime and reason opened up within a day it seems.

Yes I've enjoyed watching a bunch of his videos too, he is a very good skier. Here's his run on Exterminator Woods to give you some perspective on how insanely good the other guys is. His attempt...
