Early slug gets the worm…
That is the key though, just get there ~hour early and leave ~hour early.
Still sucks how much traffic the road gets though and Pow days are a whole nother story.

Me neither. I get up, eat, boot up and ski down.

Then its funny all the FB criers complaining of no parking..on a saturday at 10...over and over

 

[ThatGuy]

The FB gapers will never learn…

 

[Kingslug20]

But maybe...it will push for better driving and parking...squeeky wheel syndrome..

Not that i want rain..

The rain is coming later this afternoon/evening/tonight when the front moves through. Not particularly surprising based on the forecasts I was looking at. I expected the morning through at least early afternoon to be relatively dry.

Friggin F35 jets have been flying over the house non stop for days...practicing???

 

[Kingslug20]

I was eyeballing one of the little houses next to the sugarcube at SB...either was sold or they gave up..
Would have been cool..
I do like the vibe at SB better than Stowe..but like mansfield more fo skiing.

from what I understand, that Sugarcube house sold for well over asking price!

 

[Kingslug20]

Looked like it needed...everything.
But hey..your next to Sugar Bush heli skiing!

Thinking about Going to Stowe for one last hurrah, have the weekend crowds died down at this point in the season ? Or do I still need to get there at 7am ?

 

[Kingslug20]

Parking lot was pretty full today..i got there at 8 no prob.
Tough to say as Stowe has some of the best conditions right now. Get there early..cant hurt.

 

[Kingslug20]

Snow and schnozzle on the way for sat,sun...

Saw this on Stowes conditions report

Easter Sunrise Service: Join us Sunday morning for our annual Easter Sunrise Service hosted by the Stowe Community Church at the top of the Mount Mansfield Gondola. The Gondola will begin loading the public at 4:30 AM for a complimentary ride to the top. The last Gondola cabin will be loaded at 5:40 AM sharp, so all guests can reach the top prior to the service starting. Following the service, guests can ski or ride down Perry Merrill (conditions permitting) and all foot passengers will be downloaded. Due to grooming operations taking place just prior to the service starting, there is no uphill travel allowed to access the service. All guests must ride the Gondola to the top. We hope to see you there

 

[ThatGuy]

Thats pretty cool. Early as heck though.

FWIW, the lower half of Perry Merrill (below Rim Rock) was in great shape on Monday

The parking lot has been empty all week, There never has been more then 10 to 20 people at the most in line. Most of the time it has been ride right on. it looks a bit full as they let the staff park there now. Yo can get there anytime you want. It’s been that way for the past 3 weeks including weekends
