Last weekend in Stowe might have been my last?

To me it looks like it will be way too warm even in N. VT, from today right through Monday, so it'll be mostly rain and negligible new snow.

Yeah, it's not looking too good and I don't need to ski in the rain.

A minute from the Alta exit off the I-15!
Gloom and doom galore in here....no region in the NE is getting "rained on" this weekend. Showers, yes, bt nothing steady. With natural snow trails still in-play I am going to get after it.

Looking on the glass half-full side, I suppose snow can withstand 'just' a half-inch of warm rain fairly well.

And the winds look to be a lot less than last weekend, so no wind holds.

I'm on the fence. Do I put off doing spring tasks for yet another weekend? :)

Not a ton of weekends of lift served left at many places, let alone when most places that are open are still if not 100% open, then very close to it!

I figure that the sticks on my lawn and some random leaves from last fall still in a few garden beds can stay there a little bit longer! Gotta get the turns in this time of year, regardless of the type of precip that is or isn't falling from the sky! :)

Blue Mountain (PA) just moved up their closing date from Sunday to Saturday. Closing at 4 on Saturday, too... They shut down any chance they get when there's even a whiff of rain in the forecast (especially midweek). Didn't think they'd pull that garbage on their closing weekend.

I skied Blue last night. Razor's Edge is bumped up from top to bottom on skiers left. Also bumps on Nightmare and Main Street. Should be soft on Saturday.

Yeah - should be sweet from the start. Doesn't look like temps will drop below the high 40s from Friday night on.

Oh...darn it. Was thinking I would hit blue Sunday. Can't ski Saturday.

Oh well...one more try second weekend in April for Stowe, otherwise, I'm done.

Camelback is free for passholders from other resorts for the rest of the season. Toying with that idea for Sunday.
