Thanks, Andyzee. It was indeed vicious up here today. We watched a tree come down, and plenty more were scattered on the roads. There were occasional whiteouts in the Killington parking lot, and the wind through the passes was fierce.

But it did, indeed, snow.

That is SWWWEEEETTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :beer:

No, Thank you!!!!

That would be great, but I doubt it. Hopefully by the middle of next week.

Considering going up even if it means hiking. This way I could start getting stuff up to the ski house and drop the skis off at Basin Ski for a tune.
