Sorry for the delay in posting this but it's been a busy return from vacation and I've been lazy but I wanted to get all of this into one post.
3/14/17- Started out at Lincoln peak. The snow started around 7 am and I got to the parking lot around 845 to find it pretty empty. Took a few runs off gatehouse and the conditions weren't too bad so I headed to super bravo. Unfortunately got to heavens gate just as it went on windhold. Took a few more runs and went to the lodge when I got a text from wwf-vt saying that mount Ellen was empty and he was going to be skiing there in the afternoon so I decided to take a trip over there. Ate lunch and man what a difference an hour or so made. Summit was on wind hold but it didn't really matter as the conditions were fantastic on everything, 6-8 inches or so of powder. We hit up cliffs, brambles, North Star and a few others and it was fantastic. Didn't get any pictures that day as was having too much fun to stop. Thanks to wwf-vt for showing me around as I haven't skied mount Ellen in quite some time.
3/15- Got a little later start and drove to Lincoln peak which was decently crowded so I decided to go back to mount Ellen which was an excellent choice. Parking lot was only about 2 rows full. Went right to the summit and took a run down looking good which had more snow than
I've ever skied, probably 2+ feet in spots. Elbow was also fantastic and brambles was excellent and practically deserted. Also skied hammerhead which was a bit scratchy up top but skied great the rest of the way down. Stopped around 3 as my legs were destroyed but had a huge grin on my face the whole day.
Lookin good from the summit chair
