[Madroch]

This sucks.

Looks like Magic may be done after this weekend and with kids LAX, I may not be able to swing another trip further north

From Magic's FB:
Based on current forecasts and snow pack depth, if you want to Ski Magic this spring, barring a major snow storm, this weekend looks to be it. Saturday and Sunday supposed to be 50s/60s and sunny. Let's all have at it and have some fun together!

:-( Not unexpected given the warmth and limited snowmaking. I had fun my 3 days this season there for my 1st yr (and certainly not the last) yr at Magic.
Looking fwd to tracking improvements over the summer in anticipation of next year

Just got word that Hunter changed the Localmotion Race finals from the 26th to the 19th. Running out of snow..............

They have a big race on the 24th, wonder if that will happen?

Hard to believe that this is the middle of March.

No kidding. We skied the 3rd week in March last year. Did kind of a Northern NH tour. Snow was great and really had mid-winter conditions. I didn't pack enough warm clothes.

Berkshire East is not opening this weekend. Rough winter for us here in the Western Mass/ Southern Vermont area. Backcountry never filled in and I just didn't have a lot of time to travel up north. I'll be up at the AZ Summit end of the month!

Butternut closing this weekend. Ugh.

Mountain Creek's closed, Tuxedo Ridge and Mt Peter also........

Skied Pat's today. Getting thin quick, but it would appear Hurricane, Tornado and the Race Trail have enough coverage to make it another week. They do have some snow to patch the cut over to the Hurricane triple, but even today when it was a "cold" 40 degrees or so, it was still pretty slushy. Instead of trying to patch that area, it might make sense to just start haying it and have folks click out.

Speaking of the cut over you have to take, I've always had a bit of a gripe with it. Pat's really should install snowmaking on the Lower Hurricane Liftline and work on a cut over above the beginner area to get down to the Hurricane Triple. I've never skied Pat's when it's all that busy, I have to imagine that low cut over to the lift in front of the lodge deck is a complete mess at times. Seems like an easy fix that would improve traffic flow.

I would start a thread, but I'd just get blasted by the Killington lovers telling me how it's a really great thing that Killington is packing it in so early.

I can tell you that is not the plan. Our intention is to still operate through the end of April. Of course, Mother Nature always has the ultimate say.
