Stowe Thread

[kendo]

Off day for me... Flat light at opening bell didn't ski great on warmup runs down Hayride & Liftline. Decided to go early to sunnier Spruce. Auto ejected my left ski about 5 bumps into Upper Smugs. Went down hard. Luckily all ligaments intact. First crash of the year.

Did a reset and skied well the rest of the day. Apres bev tasted great. Ready to hit it again tomorrow.

Great pics.

I stayed on the groomed stuff today. May have tweaked my knee yesterday (did, but not admitting it) so took it easy. Great day to be on the mtn!

Explained there is a new entrance to midlle goat..its right below the old entrance..apparantly a power conduit is exposed at the old entrance..thus..the closed sign.. he went through some woods...then i took a header over some rocks...

Hit Stowe also. Good conditions. It’s always just a bit too crowded on the trails for my taste but I’m not sure it gets much better than today.

You thought the trails were crowed today?

 

[Kingslug20]

Crowds?.....

Yup, having to watch people shooting out at so many intersections isn’t my norm. I fully understand it was dead for Stowe, but I rarely ski Stowe.

 

[Kingslug20]

Um......

 

[Edd]

Um......

Think you’re just used to crowds, my man. We live in different areas and you ski some weekends, if I recall correctly.

Thats strange I was there for 4 hrs and most of the time there was only a few people on the trail. The lift lines were walk on as well. Where were you skiing?

 

[Kingslug20]

I only ski weekends now if my wife wants to ski...they are super crowded.
Weekdays...pretty empty.

2-3 hours off of triple/Forerunner/Gondola and another 2 at Spruce, later in the day so Mansfield felt busier.

I suspect we have different tolerances is all. Mansfield has a lot of intersections. I just rarely come up here but it’s always busy to my sensibilities. Saturdays here would terrify me.

Today is 'Sensational'. About as good as it gets... for a VT bluebird, non storm day.
Nobody on spruce all morning except the race crew. Will be a max vert day for sure.
