It's better to be a mogul nut than a powder hound.

Flame away. :flame:

Drive 25 minutes for spring bumps, or 2-3 hours for spring bumps (maybe)?

Of course I'm not really glad there's been no snow this month. I'm concerned how late places will be able to stay open as a result, but I'm damn grateful for what we have close to home, especially this month.

This is exactly how I feel, thanks for saving me some key strokes.

We'll finish out March/early April strong locally. I then expect 3 or 4 days north for more bumps. I don't usually get much more than that in April anyway, so quite honestly I consider this season awesome despite the March drought.

I'm very satisfied with this season. I'm sad to see it coming to an end, but at least I know I had a good season.

dunno man, i may just freeski up in vermont. how does the registration and all work?

ahhh, kinda wanna do a comp though...tough call.

Just do it, it's all good fun.

The registration works by you going up to a table in the lodge and then give them the entrance fee and sign a waiver. In return they give a number thingy and some elastic cords to hold it on. Then you go and thrash some bumps.
