thinking about heading up there on Saturday. Any idea how filled in the trees are? I'm ok with some base damage, but no core shots!

There isn't enough snow in there yet. From what I "heard" several unopened low angle natural trails skied pretty well without serious hits to the bases on Sunday and those are far better manicured. If we get the high end of the predictions Saturday into Saturday night I suppose its possible to get through some clean low angle woods but I wouldn't count on it. At least Talisman will be on line and I suppose some iof the afore mentioned low angle natural trails could open. Should be a good time regardless.

Yeah, JR is right. I have skied a little in the woods but it's really not ready. Possibly Disappearing Act just because it was cleaned so well this summer. I'd give it a shot,.....easy exit if it sucks. Talisman will be a great addition this weekend. Let us know when you plan on coming DPhelan. The mountain has been skiing very well.

Look for me MadMad. Black jacket, orange pants. Like in the pics earlier here. Say hello! Still trying to make this happen, but not much will keep me away.

Worst case scenario I make it Sunday but hopefully tomorrow

Not that it should matter with the new snow opening up more terrain, but FYI on Sunday there's a Southern VT Council U10 dual GS race at Magic. It will add 150-200 coaches, racers and parents/family (me included :) ) to the Black's liftline

I don't for see much of a problem with the line on Sunday with the racers. Should be manageable but certainly understand those choosing Thursday if its one day or the other.

Are you planning on taking any runs or will you only be spectating in showoff? Would be good to out a face with a handle. Even better if there are turns involved.

I will be making some turns for sure in between the 4 runs of dual GS I will be watching my daughter race (Dad duties do have to take some precedent after all ;) )

I've got a blue coat with white stripes down the sleeves, black pants and a black helmet, and the fact that in my boots, clicked into my bindings turns my usual 6'3" height into more like 6'8" from snow surface to the top of my helmet, I kind of "stand out above the crowd" to say the least :)
