I drove up to Stratton early Mon. morning. Skiing was very good with about 3" of fresh snow Sun. night. A little sunshine in the morning but it clouded up & started snowing again by early afternoon. The mountain was in surprisingly good shape considering the numerous rain/freeze cycles they've been having this year.
Tues I drove up to Sugarbush & hooked up with a friend that works for the mountain. He was nice enough to wait for me because driving up took a little longer than expected & I didn't get there for 1st chair (arrived just about 9am). The roads were snow covered all the way & what usually takes me an hour to drive took 1 1/2 hours. I had one of the best powder days I've had in awhile with a solid 3" of fresh Mon. night on top of the 6" they received the previous day. My first run was down Murphy's glade which only had a couple of tracks down it previous to us hitting it ( my friend made a couple of runs earlier while I booted up). Second run down Spring Fling was the same deal, breaking fresh tracks all the way. We then went up Heavens Gate & skied Organgrinder. Same deal only a few tracks down previous to us hitting it. Overall it was the best day I've had so far this year. My friend took a short video of me skiing the powder on Spring Fling which I was hoping to see posted on another site but I guess he couldn't figure out how to upload it. It's always a good day when we ski together & I look forward to doing it again soon. Both Stratton & Sugarbush were empty, some people don't realize how good the skiing really is. Just a pic I got off the Sugarbush web site showing the powder we had Tues.
