In the flatlands of Ct. for a little bit longer.

Friday was borderline Epic with sunny warm conditions.
Saturday was better then i thought it would be. Started out with snow, then sleet and finally the rain came right about when all the party people started showing up to the mountain.
Sunday was great early, about 200 people showed up for Easter services.
Plenty of snow and tree skiing still out there.

I was there on Friday the 22nd and I had to rate the day as totally epic spring skiing.

After 2 runs down Conclusion with the 180 crew to warm up we spent most of the rest of the day skiing trees.

All over the mountain. The coverage was sick for April 22! I didn't have to jump over any rocks or bare spots in the woods. Even the exits of Anarchy and Julio had good coverage. I was amazed.

The best snow was over at Snowdon and we took one run each down Patsy's and Lowrider and we were the only 2 people in there; when I went back later in the day, Lowrider may as well have been Grand Central...there were crowds of people in there. I couldn't help yelling at the passing crowds that this run was closed; didn't they see the sign?

Big Dipper woods and Toilet Bowl were awesome. But the runs of the day were Anarchy and Julio. Never expected to ski these 2 areas in April. Total fun!

Last run of the day was Downdraft with the 180 crew. Awesome bumps!

Just a great day that I didn't want to ever end. Great way to end the season for me.
