I had the pleasure of sharing a phenomenal day at Mt Ellen with a friend from MA, rocojerry and his GF and twinplanx. Sunny skies, temps in the 50's, amazing snow conditions. Has to rank as one of my best spring days ever at Sugarbush. I'll post more details soon.

Drove up from MA this morning, and didnt get on th mountain until around 10:30. First chair, got a call from Todd (WWF-VT) that he was at the top of the lift, so we met up before my first run of the day.. We started off with a mellow cruiser down to North Ridge, and did a run off of that before heading to the Summit. Weather was clear and bluebird -- we had ourselves a picture perfect spring day ahead:

Alright, enough warmup, It was FIS time.

We hit Black Diamond, Exterminator a few times, Encore was good, hit Tumbler for the first time ever -- neat trail.

ended the day with a trip over to a groomed out Inverness -- (lift wasn't running, but worth the trek)

called it a night down at the Golden Lion, thinking it would be possibly rainy the next day, we slept in a bit -- little did we know, another fantastic sunny spring day would be on tap for us at Lincoln peak....

Definitely saw BushMogul on the hill, we commented on thats how to rip bumps!
