Jiminy Locals: Still cover?

[Greg]

Desperately trying to get a few hours of earned turns in. Anyone been by Jiminy lately? What's the cover still look like? Any decent patches?

Last time I went by it didn't look too good

When was that? And how do you define "not too good"? Patches with a coupla hundred feet of vertical would suffice. Brown snow is fine. Rocks? Sure, why not. Need to ski small grass areas to link patches? What the hell... I ain't picky at this point.

I thought that you where going to hike at Sundown? s Nor' Easter totally snowless?

Warren and I are thinking about hiking Killington on saturday, but with good weather forecasted and chores at home it will be a toss up.

I'd imagine so. Jiminy still had decent cover on 4/21. Whirlaway looked pretty buried. Nor'easter was getting thin when we skied it on 3/30. That's a million years ago it seems....

Here's Mohawk from Monday:

Can't imgaine Sundown has significantly more than that. Maybe a bit on Noreaster...

Little to snow on Jiminy... a hundred vert of vert would be pushing it... I'm not so sure they would even let you hike there, its not state land like Killington.

You confirm what my contact at the mountain said. She also said they don't discourage hiking.

That's suprising but good news....(hiking)

Sorry, I kinda suck at details Was up that way Tuesday and I'd say you might get 100-150 tops.... but if you like brown snow, rocks, and small grass areas it'd be right up your alley

Lots of grass and bare spots at Sugarloaf yesterday, hardly worth skiing at all:

I'm glad to here Killington doesn't care. I have never "earned my turns" but I am staying in Rutland all next week at a client, so I figure it was a good time to start.
