Resort or Ski Area: Mount Washington Great Gulf, West Side, and Stowe Nosedive Area

Conditions: POWDER!!! WOOO HOOO!!!

Trip Report:

The entire FamousInternetSkiers.com crew, except for Porter, who has a boo-bo, and Lionel, who has a job, was on hand to ski an unexpected series of storms that hit Mount Washington (and Mount Mansfield) over the last week and a half. It was a truly surreal experience to be getting "that feeling" and even a few faceshots of powder since all of us had pretty much resigned ourselves to spring skiing at this point in the season. Click the picture to read the whole glorious garnaganza of a tale.


FYI: if you want to skip ahead to Allen's HD video (NOT A POV!! PRO LEVEL VIDEOGRAPHY HERE FOLKS) to to the bottom of the last page of the TR. I hope the TR is worth the read though. It was an incredible series of days! ENJOY!

Great video! Nice to see some non-POV footage of those lines.

Hard to believe those pictures of Stowe were taken a week ago. I was up there over the weekend (non-strenuous activities at the Lodge) and there doesn't look to be any snow up high.

I know exactly what you mean. The powder skiing mentioned in the TR was on Monday, and I was back up there again on Wednesday and it didn't even seem possible that there was powder skiing on Monday. So much was melted out, and all the snow was corn or rotten...
