Stayed near stratton and got there early 745am because the gf needed to rent skis, 40bucks btw wow. In anycase went up the gondola line wasnt too bad stayed over in the sunbowl area a few hrs which was nice, it was overcast and foggy to start out the day, made a bigmistake going back down the the main base area around 1130am, took 40min to get back up to the top after that, Stratton who i believe only reported 14 inches had alot better coverage than okemo who reported a BS 22 inches, after lunch it got kinda slushy mashed potatoes in some spots that were in the sun, if u stayed in the shade kinda ice really couldnt win but it was fun.

Okemo 1/1 Just walking from the parking lot it was spring conditions, mud everywhere had to be about 40-45 degrees, going up on the lift just bare spots everywhere im talking more grass than snow halfway up to the top. Conditions were mashed potatoes, eventually made it over to jackson gore which is where we just stayed and lapped about 10times during the day, conditions and snowcover over there totally different than the rest of the mountain, and had a great lunch at the bottom, as usual about 3pm got icy but all in all it was a great 2 days of skiing, sad to see all the snow melting on the way back to BDL though.
