FIS is a great spring run and gets nice and soft by the afternoon. Does anyone know what the coverage is looking like right now?

The pic linked in my previous post is from 4/19. I can't imagine it changed that much, but who knows what the weekend rain did to it. Still probably worth 10 bucks though.

Yeah, at $10, I thought you'd be all over this one, Steve. Here's a pic of FIS from Trailboss's trip last spring:
you might be surprised that it is a harder decision than it would appear. this season i have become really happy with earning turns for free. my 'one run for the price of none' tour of new england this year has been nothing short of spectacular and spending a day earning one run is often better than an entire day bashing bumps. essentially, being able to earn turns has raised the threshold for what i consider worth while lift serviced skiing. it is a hard paradigm shift to explain. while i doubt FIS is looking quite so good as it did in that 19th shot, i am tempted. the drive to bush from where i live is not my favorite and jay is 30 minutes closer and mostly highway and cheaper (tickets and gas) plus has the fun of earning my own way. essentially, i enjoy bumps, but every year they get lower on my prioriety list and i foresee me getting bored after a few hours of FIS whereas there is no change of me being bored for a second hiking and skiing at jay. tough choice, i am still undecided. it would be nice to give the legs a rest after tux though!
