I was thinking this morning...things really started to go downhill right after they groomed Middle Earth this year. Two predicted storms that week turned into duds. We then started having some thaw/freeze cycles. Mother Nature wasn't too happy with that decision apparently!

You know.... your right! I also thought that was bad Karma.

i am actually glad to see snow on the trails from that view. i expected a more grim picture. twist and moonshine look like they are still skiable once the corn cycles.
your house view? very nice. good for you.

Excellent spring day. Snow is holding up well. Warmed up to mid 40s. Natural snow trails will be done after tomorrow's weather.
I went to Ellen to get some final turns in there. It softened up surprisingly quickly even though the temp wasn't changing much early on. Good thing this is the last weekend though for ME. Not much snow left below North Ridge over there.

This is moot at this point but just out curiosity, does anyone know or wants to guess how Slidebrook was last weekend? (3/20-21). I was there and had the option of a private pickup at German Farts Rd on Sunday, but opted not to. (Would've been taking first timers and was worried it'd be a Bad Time if coverage and surfaces were poor).
I'd put a giant question mark next to Lower Organgrinder and Downspout at least for the weekend in question after what I saw on the mountain today. I'm not sure either makes it another 2 weeks unless it gets and stays cold. And if they can't keep DS patched together, then we'd lose all the HG terrain no matter how much snow OG/RC still have. Even Snowball is going to give the groomers some work to keep open it seems...

Rescue Downspout !
HG is worth keeping for a week or so

Skied Lincoln Peak on Wednesday, Mt Ellen on Thursday, and Mt Ellen again today. There was a big difference in conditions from Wednesday through Sunday the sun and rain really did alot of damage. The bumps on Steins, Organgrinder, Spillsville, and even Paradise were really good on Wednesday. Thursday we called it early due to the sticky sink-in snow. I'm guessing those runs we did on Wednesday would be close to unskiable today from what I saw at Mt Ellen. Cinco de Mayo is going to be tough to make this year.
