Wow, was it crowded. It seemed like there were 10,000 people on the mountain today because as we pulled in we encountered the "All Parking Lots are Full" sign. I never imagined that many people would show up towards the end of March...incredible crowds for this time of year, it was nuts. Dave and I have gotten in the habit of seeking new terrain on the weekends when the crowds show up; today we'd have to look hard.

Its easy to see why there are still a lot of people skiing, its been a solid winter in Vermont.

When we talked to Jim as we left Burlington and he was out at the bench; said there were a lot of people. On the car ride over we had discussed going into the notch to find some good turns. We ended up taking a run then skinned up RT 108 to the goods....

The terrain is so filled in there are great lines everywhere. I haven't see it looking this good in the 5 years I've been skiing here...its past even last April now.
