The forecast did not look good since Sunday. Next week looks somewhat promising. In the meantime have fun in SV. If we get some pow on Tuesday/Wednesday I’ll take some turns for you. Safe travels

Hopefully, we need snow or it’s a short spring session

 

[Kingslug20]

If you want some hopium, it's looking better for March to be fairly cold.

Not a big IPA guy. I really like Trapp's dunkel.

Used to be black market currency in Boston suburbs. Glad it's more readily available. Focal Banger too.

Everybody is into crypto nowadays. Not long ago we were all into Alchemist and Hill Farmstead

 

[Kingslug20]

I'm not so sure I'd say I'm glad it is more readily available. I used to make money bringing that stuff back to NJ for people!

Stowe. 24% open
SB 68% open
Hmm....

Good quick Bfast to eat in car - on Mountain Rd (right side going to the mountain) Stowe Bee Bakery Cafe - very solid biscuit Bfast sandwiches and coffee

Drive the 10 minutes to Waterbury and hit Prohibition Pig for very good Bbq/comfort food and beer

Went with the advice here for Ranch Camp - excellent when u're done for the day - their pork belly tacos were great

Matterhorn has good live music - didn't eat there so can't comment on food

Idletyme was decent but I enjoyed the poutine more thn their beer - went for the Heady Topper for my 2nd

Lawson's Sip of Sunshine should be thrown into the convo - those 3 were gold down here in the Philly area b4 everyone jumped on the hazy IPA train

Got food poisoning at the Matterhorn eating wings. I’ll pass on that dump.

Sugarbush didn’t even open till after 12 pm. Top lifts not open when they did open. My experience is SB is more of a fail then Stowe. When was the last time they made snow at the Bush? Stowe was making snow this week. Like I said before i hope everyone that thinks it’s better at SB goes there. They can deal with short runs, lots of run outs, slow lifts, lack of snowmaking. Vail or not I would take Stowe over SB anytime.

Hmmm...so far ive only bern to SB 4 times this season. Stowe...a lot more...I did find coverage much better at Stowe so far.
But ill still hit both...variety is good.
