We were on the lift by 8:20 and finished up about 2:00 - didn't take a break. It was mid-80's in Stowe village and 70's at the mountain - simply amazing. 2nd or 3rd run of the day, rode up with a guy who'd called it quits on Friday at 2PM - couldn't believe the snow loss. Literally, we watched the snow melt away during the day.
Only skied the fourrunner quad skiing Nose Dive, Liftline, Goat (no snow at top so enter at top of liftline), Hayride, Starr (upper closed) and National and Lord all day. Probably 20+ runs - worse run was bypass - big mistake although my son said nosedive woods were good. Best was maybe Hayride is the AM - but again there was big side to side bare spot half way up and the bottom exit will need snow. Goat was very good but you had to big careful, big rocks were sticking out in the troughs of the bumps.
Snow was slush everywhere and bottom of the mountain is completely beat especially under Liftline. The liftl wait was no more than 3 minutes although my son and I skied singles line. They have plenty of snow in terrain park to move but options getting to the quad are few. Ops people said they expect to get to next Sunday - good luck!
Rode up the lift with some people who were at Killington yesterday. They were commenting on how much more natural snow in woods and depth on trail at Killington.
