I'm trying to get some wind reports for Sunday.
Looks like we might get some good groomer cover, but gusts 25+ I'm reading.
Maybe choose a smaller fixed-grip mountain?

25mph on the summits of VT is down right calm.......

I was at K yesterday. I thought it was really good. All of the lower angle trees were open/thin cover but very fun. Poached a run down Throne, that needs more snow as well as anything steeper. Open trails were fun also. Almost spring like.

Hoping this storm produces the 4-6" they're calling for, I'll be back up Mon Tues.

Currently dumping fat flakes here at Mt Ellen

Just saw your message. Sorry I missed you. Good day at ellen. Started firm as fuck at 8 am. Softened substantially as 4” of snow fell by the time I called it at 3pm. Full gamut of conditions out there - mashed potato bumps, bulletproof hardpack, powder in the woods.

Hairy drive down 100 to rutland. Seems like less snow down here. K reported 3” but I don’t like the radar and forecast for additional accumulation tonight. Really don’t want to drive back north in the morning.

Any k intel out there from today?

Mount Ellen was really sweet today, especially upper mountain. Lower is a bit sticky and wet. Wished it were a bit less foggy.
