Lionel Hutz who is usually pretty good at forecasting doesn't see a major storm for the mountains later this week. With the exception of maybe Maine.

We got about 5 inches of snow overnight at Sugarbush and it's still snowing at 7:45 Sunday morning here at the base of Mt Ellen. 10 degrees and windy

About 1.5" down here 10 mins from base of Okemo. 14 degrees and windy. Feels like winter!

Thanks just looked at my bank and I can not afford to go. The card gets me a good early season discount Sundays at Mount Snow like so I now thinking of doing that. Hope you guys up in N VT get slammed at Jay on Monday.

I was wrong about the discounts for early season. I was at Stowe on Saturday and they did allow the use of the VT Card. I think it was $46 with the card.

On Sunday I was at Smuggs and they didn't allow the card. Fortunately my Bash badge gets me free early season skiing =)

Glad you got the discount. How was the skiing?

Things were pretty icy on Saturday at Stowe with the exception of a few pockets of decent stuff to carve into. Had a great time though.

Sunday at Smuggs was similar but there was 5-6 inches of new snow to help improve the surface. Windy and 10 degrees. Poached some trees to get a little powder but not much base yet.

Nothing like making it to Smuggs at 10:30 on a Sunday and the upper lot is still empty and full of new snow =)

Your first pic looks like it might be Highlander Glade?

Yep you got it! Not nearly enough snow on the steep section yet but the low angle run out if you veer skiers left was perfect and soft.

Riverc0il and I spent most of our day on Sterling b/c of the crappy weather conditions on the summit of Madonna. Highlander was sort of a late day discovery for us, but it encouraged us to make a few more runs than we would have otherwise! Hopefully your skis didn't suffer any ill effects

You have guts to venture into the trees with a base like that.

Or stupidity!

They don't call them "rock skis" for nothing.
