Fat Lady Thread 2017

[SnowRock]

Don't know much about ski racers and their parents, but I think the fat lady was hiding last weekend. Two of my better recent east coast days at Stowe Fri/Sat. 7-8 of cream cheese on the stout base made for some fun times. I am better at knowing my way around the woods there lately, but still terrible at knowing the names of things... everything I got into was fun. Lower angle stuff was nice Friday while the steeper stuff was a bit hit or miss in some spots, but by Saturday morning everything was skiing really nicely.

Not really, They'll play the best kids who will give them the best chance at a win. Regardless of who went to practice

Depends where you ski. I overheard some regulars at the Cat this weekend discussing how their kids are going to miss all the practices for their spring sports in April while the mountain is still open. Because, you know, priorities.

Pat's always closes on a certain date, period, then a snowmobile event the next weekend. Seems like a waste to me - but from most accounts that place is a money-making machine, so who am I to question how they run it.

And yes the MILF factor there is always quite high.

First weekend in April they have the snowmobile event. It is a huge money maker for them.

i was thinking about breaking out the splitboard and doing some runs there. i'm new to pats, what would you suggest for up and down routes? and do they care if you're out there?

if you go to their website and look they have an uphill policy: https://www.patspeak.com/Plan-Your-Visit/Uphill-Travel-Policy.aspx

Down hill - it matters what looks good and what is soft.

This past weekend was it for my two local mountains, Mountain Creek and Mt. Peter. The both are done for the season.

I just checked Campgaw's website and they are planning to open next weekend for one last weekend.

From Mount Snow passholder forum...

"Right now we are planning on running through Easter Weekend."

Crickets from wachusett about a closing day. Sunday is pond skimming...Have to imagine this week is the end of daily skiing. Bet they reopen 8th-9th if the coverage stays good.

They show Wildcat with 8-15. It will probably be windy and they will be closed though.

even if they're open the lift might not be working

We're done. Ski rack coming off this weekend. Heading south for spring break in two weeks to hike. Was a good season....

Blue Mountain, PA is closing Sunday. Hopefully the rain holds off and there are some nice spring bumps on Razor's.

LOL. I'm still hoping to make it up north (Tremblant or Northern VT) for spring break, but then the ski rack is coming off.

Heading to Switzerland mid April but no skiing though

Ending my season this Sunday in NH & looks like will be prime regardless where I choose to go.

First considered Bretton Woods for more snow depth, but looks like Gunstock could get the better snowfall in the 6-8 inch range.

Either way Sunday looks like a prime day in the northeast.

Crotched announced they are re-opening this wknd for a final wknd.
9-7 Saturday, 9-5 Sunday
will be there with my son on Sunday

This pending storm, is going to put a money wrench in many resorts, who were fully ready for this coming weekend to be their last weekend of operations, in a bit of a quandry........
