I can't imagine what Hunter must be like if it makes Killington seem uncrowded.

Well to be fair most of my K days this season are weekdays.

My comment about being spoiled was more directed at conditions. Yesterday at Hunter was a classic example of why some skiers think the snow at Hunter is somehow harder and icier than anywhere else.

14. 2/1 - Gore. 2nd Best day of the season thus far at Gore. Great snow everywhere. Nobody there. Primo woods.

15. 2/2 - Gore. Great day but busy. Woods were still primo.

16. 2/16 - Gore. Top 1/2 of the mountain awesome, especially the woods. Bottom 1/2 where it rained...not so much. Not really crowded for a holiday weekend.

17. 2/17 - Whiteface. Great carving on all the groomed steeps. Awesome weather. Not crowded mid-mountain up.

18. 2/18 - Gore. Nice few inches of fresh. Woods skiied great

longest mid-season gap in skiing i've ever had. i was fiending by the end of this 23 day drought. one weekend of bad weather, another weekend of life stuff. then western canada.

11/11 - K - North Ridge Homecoming
11/17 - K - Skiing trees in November
11/24 - Magic - Soft opening, soft powder
11/30 - Mad River Glen - Last minute personal day, 33" leftovers, knee deep drifts
12/01 - Smugglers - Madonna opening, 33" leftovers, calf-knee deep all day long
12/08 - K - ~4-5" dust on crust in the woods. Rope ducks for fresh tracks all day.
12/09 - Stratton - Oh wow, I remember why Stratton fucking sucks - the people and the terrain and everything being groomed to ice.
12/23 - Copper - Day of arrival. Land at 9 AM. Ski at 12:30 PM. 5" storm leftovers. bluebird.
12/24 - Copper - 5" storm skiing. Girlfriend took a group lesson - money wasted, bad instruction. Copper is kinda like Stratton of Colorado. Meh.
12/25 - Copper - Bluebird leftovers on Xmas day.
12/26 - Winter Park - Gave girlfriend a lesson myself. Much more useful for her. Heavy snow began around 12 PM.
12/27 - Winter Park - 6" overnight. Bluebird.
12/28 - Winter Park - Late start due to unusually cold temps. Gave girlfriend a lesson 12-1. Skied leftover pow 1-4:30.
12/29 - Winter Park - Linked up with a buddy who is a less strong skier. Ended the trip on groomers and low angle trees.
01/05 - Smuggler's - 7" leftovers - Poacher's Paradise
01/06 - Stratton - Stratton sucks so bad.
01/12 - Sugarbush - leftovers from big storm
01/13 - Killington - excellent day, K skied fantastic
01/19 - Copper - 12" leftovers, but so crowded, quality over quantity
01/20 - A-Basin - with good friends from denver. the new beavers terrain is incredible.
01/21 - Copper - solo...sun and snow. my parents had to put their dog down this morning. these runs were for siena
01/26 - Sugarbush Lincoln Peak - No good, very bad. Ice. People. Barf.
01/27 - Sugarbush Mount Ellen - Very good. Not bad. Snow. No People. No Barf.
02/17 - Kicking Horse - 3". Hiked O-Zone and T2. So Steep.
02/18 - Revelstoke - 5600 vertical of steeps and trees is pretty cool.
02/19 - Revelstoke - 3". A little bit of snow to freshen things up.
02/20 - Revelstoke - More steep skiing.
02/21 - Banff Sunshine - Barf. Not a cool place. Short vertical. Very intermediate. The only real steeps were closed and would require avalanche gear if they were open.
02/22 - Lake Louise - Awesome place. Amazing access to steeps. No hiking required with a shitload of steep options.
02/23 - Lake Louise - 2". A little soft snow to end the trip.

I love western canada, but i'd be lying if i did not say i was bummed to be committed to my destination while CO, CA, WA, and UT were all skiing super deep. first world problems. was a fun trip and i skied world class steeps.

Now that I'm done through the end of Feb...

1. Sunday River 11/13 (7" powder)
2. Wachusett 11/18 (Opening weekend crunchies)
3. Wachusett 11/19 (Cream cheese pt 1)
4. Killington 11/20 (8" powder)
5. Wachusett 11/25 (Cream cheese pt 2)
6. Loon 11/27 (12" powder)
7. Sunday River 12/4 (Freeze-up day and windholds)
8. Wachusett 12/20 (Bad)
9. Wachusett 12/23 (Somehow much better AFTER 2" of rain)
10. Solitude 1/13 (Crusty)
11. Snowbird 1/14 (Crusty, but want to go back and really experience it)
12. Deer Valley 1/15 (Light snow...great runs in Daly Bowl)
13. Alta 1/16 (15" powder)
14. Sugarbush 1/21 (-15 degrees with 40 mph winds...fun!)
15. Mad River Glen 1/22 (wind slabs!)
16. Sugarbush 2/3 (Classic east coast rock-solid bump day)
17. Jay 2/4 (Cream cheese on naturals)
18. Burke 2/5 (Woods closed, primo spring conditions on open natural trails)
19. Sunday River 2/18 (Couple inches during day to freshen it up)
20. Sugarloaf 2/24 (Wind holds galore, 6ish inches of powder by end of day)
21. Sugarloaf 2/25 (14" powder, 1st run injury, 100something mph winds, radio tower destruction day)

Unless this back thing is worse than I'm thinking it is, looking forward to an epic March...Stowe/Smuggs weekend, more Ikon days at Killington, Sugarbush, and maybe more, plus a return to SLC. Laying low the next few days in hopes this gets better.
