Cold or Corn

[highpeaksdrifter]

Do you want the cold temps to stay around longer so the snow lasts or are you ready for warmer temps and spring corn?

I want the season to go long, but I have to admit I'm ready right now for spring skiing. I'll say corn.

Cold... I want to save the corn for May.

Ahhh..ha, but there in lies the conundrum. Almost all ski areas will stop running their lifts before May even if there is still snow on their trails. So only people with the time, fitness level and inclination will get the corn if that happens.

Ideally, I'd like a repeat of last year, especially considering that there looks like there will be a few areas gunning for late season bragging rights.

I love spring skiing, love hero corn bumps, but I love powder more.

Cold, definitely. My favorite skiing days have temps ~25, new snow with more lightly falling throughout the day to keep it fresh.

Cold only if the snow continues. Once the snow stops falling, I want straight up corn. Corn involves freezing at night with delicious harvests in comfortable temps during the day. As long as the corn cycle does not involve too high temps at night and a lot of cloud cover, then the snow will last due to the big bases.

I want to ski fresh powder when I visit Stowe in a week and a half..but if it's 50 degrees and sunny..I'll live with that..lol

I want it to be below freezing midweek and 50 degrees and sunny with no wind on weekends from now through Memorial Day.

Cold. I'm not really a fan of the corn. I like my snow hard and fast.

by about the second week in april i am ready for corn. i love spring riding on my bday but nothing beats a pday.

Cold, cold, and more cold.

Its been cold and dumping here pretty much non-stop in Jackson. The few corn harvests weve had really just dont compare to the fresh. Spring skiing is fun and all, soft snow and technical lines are nothing to complain about. But cold smoke ... thats not even a fair fight.

I am waitin for spring freeze/thaw cycle to begin ..It kinda hard out there and really am sick of it.Plus i have my L1 alpine next week and did not want it to be on bullit proof.

Sounds good to me right now. A little breeze helps to dry the corn, or so it seems.

The corn should be ripe this afternoon at Blue mountain..it's below freezing up there going into the 40s with sunshine..yummy..

cold. still need one or two more epic pow days before corn season. that april pow last year spoiled me, now I'm expecting it this year!

 

[dmc]

Some sweet warm days would be nice...

 

[Vortex]

I love corn snow, it also signals the end is coming. I love corn snow, but the later the better.

 

[kingslug]

I'll have the corn.

 

[tjf67]

the corn will come whether we want it to or not so I vote cold smoke.

There will be no corn in the ADK for at least 7 days.

Pow Pow right now.Head to northern Vermont for up to 18 inches of freshies at Jay and Stowe.
