Not quite sure how they were able to get the Spruce Peak skating rink relo'd to Hayride overnight...?!?

Hayride's a lot of fun today... not completely dialed, but edge-able. The skating rink is in no man's land and totally avoidable.

Why is Stowe ski patrol yelling at people putting skis on at the top of the gondola at the end of the day to ski down while there's easily 4x the number skinning up?

How is the base in the trees? I realize its probably rock hard but with some snow i assume the trees are back in....

Base is good depending on exposure. It needs to soften and should be good for a while. Incoming snow will help.

Feels like today’s system is an over perform. Had to leave as it was just cranking up on the hill, but must be 4 already in town.
Hopefully 4 in town means 8+ on the hill!

Sunday looks like it won't be as much of a hit as it did last night. But if we can overperform our way to double digits tonight (and it just might) then missing out on double digits Sunday won't be as big of a deal. Still should be a good refresher.

Great day & week overall. Skied from 1st chair till about 10, before heading back to NJ. By 10, the slopes were getting scraped. Today's snow is really going to help bury the rock-solid surface from Tuesday's freeze.

Run of the day was Hayride, again. Last night's groom really dialed in the cord TTB for some great early laps...

Hayride and Nosedive were both really fun. Liftline a bit more sporty but not bad about half way down.

Some very light mist and virga in town. Imagine this stuff should bond nicely.

Eagerly watching the trail report today. Hoping to see the nats opening up this morning. Right now the snow report says 72 open trails and 74 groomed trails, so hopefully someone enjoys whatever reserved groomed trails they apparently have 😆

NWS has tomorrow back up to 6-12".
