Well, since I was up at my place this morning, and didn't have to be back to CT until late afternoon, and there was a window on the radar loop that was showing that there was going be be a "less wet slot" (calling it a dry slot would be a HUGE exageration
) rolling across Southern VT, I wrapped my self in Gore-tex and headed out for a few runs!
The liftlines were massive (okay I had to wait a maximum of about 3 seconds for the gates to open for the loading belt on the Grand Summit Express
) The light was flat with sporadic cloud layers to ski though, but the snow was that beautiful wet snow that skis like cream cheese, and there was even a bit of wet powder in thr troughs some of the bumps up top as for the 1st few hours last night before the liquid stuff started falling, it was snowing at Mount Snow.
I hit up Uncles to Ridge, Shootout to South Bowl and then Ledge to Overbrook. I figured that there's a chance, especially with Ledge that the next 36-48 hours few inches of liquid precip and then the warm temps might spell the end of those trails before I'm back on the hill on Friday. After about 45 minutes of being on the hill in the "less wet slot" some of the precip managed to find it's way between the cuffs of my gloves and coat and that was enough for me!
Not the greatest weather day, but then again I got some turns in so there's no complaints in my book!
