Lyndon Outing Club - Valentine's morning

[from_the_NEK]

So at 5:00am I only had 4 inches of new snow on my deck. Not enough to bother skinning up Burke. So I went back to bed and woke up again at 6:30 to a white out. By 7am there was over 8" on the deck. I decided to get a quick before work run in at the Lyndon Outing Club (450' vert ski hill in town). I'm glad I did. I started skinning just before 8 and got to the top at about 8:15. There was over 10" of new snow at the top. I hit a couple of steep trails that hadn't been open or groomed yet this year so I had well over a foot of nice powder. I wish I wasn't swamped at work or I'd be at Burke this morning.

Awesome. Brings back great memories of my other home hill for many years. I hope that they are doing well.

I hope that they are doing well.

Opened for the season last Friday after the last 8" storm. There were still a lot of thin spots and only the Face was open. This should get them 100%. Hopefully the season is more than two weeks long this year. The last two years have been tough.

The last time I skied there, in January 2011, there were not many folks there. A far cry from when I was a kid...the place used to be packed.
