i was just arriving at the top of Sugarbush on my mountain bike when it opened up last Tuesday. I saw a few strikes hit the mountain lower than me. Was a little scared and booked it the hell off the mountain, trying to hug the side of the trails to get closer to the trees. Phew!

In a no-ski funk. I rode my bike half way up Mt Ellen yesterday. It wasn't that fun. Plenty of snow up top but you will be hiking quite a bit to ski it.

I am pretty happy in Fayston VT. If I could live anywhere, I'd probably live even closer to the mountains.... on the mountain side of the road so I could just ski everywhere. Sure, if I could ski all day everyday I wouldn't mind bigger mountains but in the end i have to balance work family...

yeah, even of the people who live right by the mountain, most have moved on.

Top of Mt Ellen today.... the above pictures were taken from the summit that you see in the dead center of this pic. I saw some ants coming down at Sugarbush South today too..... i think they have a bit more snow than Mt Ellen. but there is something nice about Mt Ellen........ It...

Wow I get like 20-22mpg in my Outback. However... it's a 750 ft climb back from just about anywhere, all severe service and "city" driving. How are the roads there? Suspension takes a beating here and reasonably priced parts seems to be something that is nice to have.

First day it's been clear in a long time... I went for a bike ride and sort of regretted it. Mt Ellen is beckoning... still looking very white especially up top. I'd bet you can still go very close to top to bottom (maybe hike down like 10 minutes). I'm sort of torn because I do the...

I got nothing. I skied 3 times this week at Mt Ellen. It's still "close enough" to top to bottom. Good mushy corn. Sugarbush is open this weekend I'll ski probably Saturday. there's like 2-3 feet of snow from Joe's cruiser up to the top on Mt Ellen. I think it could last a while but...

Hard not to respect that decision to close mid week (both K and bush). They are prob losing money now (?).

Got it. Hit up The bush yesterday and it was decent. Some new snow early. Got somewhat mushy towards the EOD but still fun. If you can almost still glide on the Traverse over to Steins it's all good :) wish I had some fatter boards but still fun. I have 1 quad ticket left and I think they'll...

My boots are Italian (Dynafit... thought that was german!) Bindings - German (Dynafit) Skis are Rossignol made in Ukraine. Next will be USA (Voile) I think or perhaps Dynastar (France).

Has anyone been skiing Sugarbush? I skinned Mt Ellen today and it was surprisingly great, but I don't like much sitting on lifts in the rain. I want to get out there with my son 1 more time--thinking tomorrow may work. Got tickets to burn quite honestly too... hoping for 1 last sunny day next...

Strategically located :) 10 minutes to MRG and I work on west coast time. I actually moved to VT for bike riding but turned into a skier. I usually cut work 2 days a year to ski... any more than that I feel guilty :(

I still have no idea. But I'm going on 4 months now. so if I had 3 days a week, it'd be about 48. these are certainly not full days. I count a skin up and1 run down as a ski day. :daffy:

My wife doesn't mind for the most part within reason. She knows how happy it makes me :)

sorry about that guys , I went skinning in the rain yesterday and Ullr found out :) today, my morning schedule involved walking home from town after dropping car off at the mechanic. Trudged through like 4" of snow on the catamount trail which is more like a stream. However, I will be...

Hit up Mt Ellen this morning in the pouring rain. It was surprisingly crusty. Only upper FIS was really enjoyable (corn), everything else was frozen crud... and it was like 50F. Unfortunately also, the mountain ops have plowed quite a bit of the work road leading to the summit. Yesterday...

It is too bad, because the rain disappeared at like noon and the sun came out.... Lots of people skinning up , so I can imagine it would have been decently busy if they kept it open from the start.

nice pics there ,looks like decent coverage still. MRG is done officially. they were supposed to ski today but it's pouring. Funny, I hadn't checked today's weather and thought it was going to be overcast and 50. No matter.. My 3 year old and I ripped it up all afternoon yesterday on the...

MRG til closing Skin Mt Ellen till there's no more snow. I've got some Sugarbush quad pack tickets left too.
