Closing Dates for New England Mountains - 2015

Some pictures of SS. I think they have a potential shot at next weekend too.

Word on the hill is they will try for next weekend. The thin area. At the end of the middle flats got a nice repair job. Several feet deep.

Patched spot

Looks good considering the winter we had. Heading up to make some turns tomorrow to close out my season since I have to drive by for work anyways.

I went today and it was very good. Lots of big moguls and lots of snow. A couple of narrow spots as people have posted, but they were not a problem at all. It was nice that virtually everyone was a good skier and practiced good etiquette. Zero lift line. The beer sure tasted good at the end of the day. I will try to post some pict's later.

Did they intentionally set out to destroy the best lines on middle supe, because, man, did they ever succeed!

Necessary to scratch enough snow together for patching things up.

Yeah, definitely the deepest pack there. Too bad it wouldn't be cost efficient for them to harvest the snow on cascade that folks have been insisting on hiking too...

Why go that far? There's plenty of snow left to harvest on lower Skye Hawk if they chose to. Actually I'm surprised K doesn't have the trail listed as open or at least indicate the lower section is.

I was told that it is expensive to push snow and that the longer the distance, the less efficient the process.

Don't touch my Cascade stash! Until this weekend it was absolutely worth the hike over.

Cascade today. Fading fast! Lots of walking/grass skiing.

Skye Hawk is right next to Superstar, Cascade isn't.

 

[chuckstah]

Almost no snow left on Skyhawk today. It is toasted. Cascade is done as well. Not possible to harvest anything from either trail.

Waiting to the lifts to stop this weekend before posting my next update, but Killington is focusing on Memorial. Likely walking on and off the chair like the good old days.

I'm skiing at MSS this weekend, maybe K next weekend.

Cascade today.

Cascade this weekend was still worth the hike, but this was all she wrote

love it when there is snow on the ceiling.

Snow falls up Charlie Brown

Killington is back and will offer the longest (1997-98) and latest (2001-02) ski season the East has seen in almost 20 years. This is incredible considering that the ski resort only received 81″ of snow this season, only one-third their yearly snow average and the resort’s lowest snowfall on record by over a 4-feet margin to 1979-80

Would be interesting to know how much snowmaking added because many resorts add feet of man made.
