Strange that Mt Snow was windy on Saturday and Magic had no wind at all.

For those looking for conditions report:
- my perspective is that the snow surface is seemingly the most consistent I have seen it in many years thanks to recent weather pattern (minus Hot piss rain event from Xmas....love that description)
- Mtn has not had this # of trails open, day over day, in many years
- They appear to be grooming "out" more terrain than in past. Not sure if this is a new approach, trail preservation tactic for season or response to cust feedback (does feel a little BCreek-ish)
Yesterday was cold and windy, chose to sit on couch. Pulled kids from programs but they lapped a few PM runs but...Today was fantastic. Couldn't believe how early Carinthia p-lot emptied, even for for a Sunday.
We're distance learning to comply with VT QTine guidelines. CT schools won't let us back in without neg testing each time we'd return home so F-it...going to hit it hard next 2 storm days.

Heck, the fact that on some trees, where the recent snow fallS (emphasis on the plural!) was finally blown off on Saturday to still show the branches on some trees up on the top roughly 1/2 of the mountain still encased in ice from the last liquid event over 3 weeks ago, gives a perfect example as to how good the weather has been for snow preservation I between snow events for the majority of January! It's been a GOOD weather month overall in SoVT!!

Snow did not start here until 2:30 yesterday and really didnt get cooking till around 6. Cats were humming all night but I think bulk of snow came after a good portion was groomed so should be ideal. (as a boarder, these are my ideal conditions....cord base with 4-6 inches on top, nothing more fun to surf!)
Driveway was just plowed and deck looks to have another 10-12 inches so trees should be reloaded and be great.
Wind is still kicking pretty good but I can see the lifties pulling the coral ropes on Nitro lift so we will see how it effects BB lif, et all. Hopefully GSE runs.
Kids have 2nd snow day in a row back in CT but we're distance learning for season to comply with everyones rules so we'll be out there at 9!!
Come on up!

I see on their snow report that "Nitro will be closed". Is this due to the wind or is this a mid-week plan? I'm heading there tomorrow and want to plan parking accordingly.

That is the trail "Nitro". The lift that runs atop it goes by same name.
Since yesterday morning, they've been rebuilding a number of the larger features that got "flattened out" over last few weeks of heavy use with such good snow.
The should Nitro should be running as some point because I can see the lifties setting up the ropes/corral.

Nitro life just started spinning about 11. We've been out for 2 hours...while the snow is plentiful, it is "mini-sleeting" and your googles are covered instantly with a frozen film. This has now left about 1/8" of crust on everything which I did not expect. Snow is by no means now, powder.

Thanks for the update. I should have realized trail vs lift duh.....LOL.
The sleet, well I didn't expect that. I assumed light fluffy pow and even planned on my 107's. Oh well, any day out is a good day!

Carinthia is where the shit goes down it seems.
Smart move by Mt Snow to keep that all contained in one spot on the mountain.

Guessing that there was probably a good minute of back and forth, before the video started that might put a different perspective as to why the lady lost it......
Carinthia is definitely a cesspool a least the north face is on the opposite side of the mountain.

My sons and I caught tail end from above on lift....my daugher is one of the voices you hear saying stop in the video. Very unsettling for her. Weve had a few family discussions about it.
Yes, before the kid popped off at her, the group was telling her to clear the landing area. What you dont see is that she is sitting right past a feature, out of her skis.

i think its pretty visible that she is obstructing a jump, standing in the middle of a park, not wearing her skis. she also doesn't look like someone who would be skiing park in the first place.
i don't recall if it was in the reddit post or in the unofficial networks article, but i read that she was just walking around the park, outside her skis, filming a friend who was just skiing thru the park as if it were a groomer, and was waiting for that friend to ride up the lift to film the friend coming back thru the park. what i read said that she would not move from in front of a park feature, one of the kids called her a retard, and then she started getting physical
fuck that lady. fuck her right in her asshole. i don't love the word, but retard seems to fit her conduct.

Wouldn't shock me at all of she just chose to put her stuff down there. Heck, a few weeks ago, on a busy Saturday, there was a group of what looked like mid 20 somethings, who chose to take their gear off and sit an have a snack in the snow between were the Canyon and Bluebird queue lanes end, both had pretty full queues that were maybe with 30 feet of meeting, and that doesn't even take into account the folks trying to ski/ride down the bottom of Canyon and either into the queue lanes or to the base lodge, etc. They were absolutely oblivious it seems to how that place they chose to stop wasn't a good option.
And while I will admit that the vast majority of my time at Carinthia (which is maybe a couple of runs each weekend down Mineshaft to Inferno) isn't on trails that have parks on them, I have tried to pay attention in the past to the etiquette bits that the ambassadors put out a few years ago about what is and isn't a proper lane to use if you're not using the features, where to stop, etc.
There's plenty of situations a day in reality that go on at Carinthia where just the use of some simple etiquette and/or personal responsibility are far from what happens and then you get things like that video. Tough as a parent as well when you try and explain some of that to your kids

Im certainly a MS homer but I wont deny it has an "edge" that exists at few other places and bothers me now and again. Its a vibe caused by its blend of clientele and its volume. Those seemingly increase the chance of these types of occurrences.
Thankfully my kids have all grown up in programs where their instructors or coaches focus on responsibility and mtn citizenship....but even their groups have kids whom behave like their parents.
