bringin the trash out before bed and noticed it was snowing when the motion sensor light came on, whaaa whooo! totally took me by surprise. it actually came down good for 5 mins and it actually stuck to the car briefly and I could make a snow ball and I ate it. too amped to fall asleep so I thought I would check in with AZ.

any other reports of snow? its still 36 now and flurrying, we shall see what the hills look like when the sun rises.

f'n sweet!

Dr. No on KillingtonZone reported it had snowed in Rochester, NY where he is for work reasons. He also said they expect up 12 inches in Buffalo. Glad to hear it is falling in VT.

We got at dusting at Bolton, too; I got a bit of sliding in:

(more photos will be up in an hour or so, but they'll be of snow on immobile objects, not of me skiing)

Can you say rock skies.

Actually, I managed to avoid most of the rocks. The snow had already melted on them, anyhow, so they wouldn't provide much in the way of glide.

;)

Besides, those aren't even my rock skis. My rock skis are currently in the shop, as they need to have an edge reattached. Those are my backup rock skis.

Are these officially the first turns of the season (East)? You're hard core!

Saw this shot over on FTO...as Marc said, you are a true optimist.

My hat is off to you.

They look totally skiable. Did anyone else get the rockers out this AM?

So... you're telling me I'm a little late to get here? :-( :lol:

I didn't think it would be worth hiking that far for that little snow, but it looks like kbroderick might disagree? :spread:
