Trip Report:

Saturday:

Opening day. As is usual, I could not get there fast enough. Roads from BTV were terrible...just enough snow to make it slick and no plowing. Traffic was terribly slow...but I still made it to the lifts at 9:10am or so.

No complaints. Nice pow--it was legit despite what some naysayers were posting in here. Crowds were not bad from 9-11, but after 11am it got pretty busy and after 1pm it was very busy and getting skied off. I will let the pics do the talking...no real comments since it was laps on Jester, Deathspout, and Lower Jester.

Some different than my last outing at Sugarbush in May:



Meatheads ski down Stein's...Radio Ron and Hammer that is.
