I bet Pico was sick today. I was really close to calling out this morning and heading up.

Too late now, but Cannon was pretty sweet today and there was nobody there. First tram wasn't even full. Raced the tram all morning and caught every one without any lines. Ski on at the Cannonball every time.

So how did Vermont make out with the weather yesterday? I'm thinking of doing a trip with a local ski club to Sugarbush and Stratton this weekend, but not if it's icy.

While first hand reports are best, check out the resort reports.

But I've also found that certain resorts are "late" in their reporting. Check again tomorrow morning.
My gut tells me it's pretty heavy "powder".

I skied at Sugarbush all three days this weekend and conditions today at Mt Ellen were exceptional. There was 12+ inches of snow up high and 6+ at the base. Snow was dense down low and a lot drier at elevation. It's supposed to say cold this week so next weekend should be great.

MLK at Mad River Glen was fun before the power outage put a damper on the powder day!

Nor should it ever be. Trams are horrible. Actually, they're usually horrible because they're theoretically so cool that so many people want to ride them, thus, making them unpleasant. hmmm, sort of a catch-22.

Only tram I've ridden is Jay's. Love it. Nothing like being packd like sardines with a bunch of French Canadians constantly jabbering, no idea what they're saying. Nice view, gets you up quick. Only problem is the line. (they can't add a couple more tram-cars to the cable?)

There are tram lovers and tram haters. But one thing is typically true: if Cannon gets 6+" there will be a 2-3 tram wait before it even opens. Not the case at all today. I was surprised and happy.

Sigh, we're always going to fight about this.

Best tram ride Lone Peak, Big Sky, MT. Wouldn't exactly call it a tram since it only holds 16 people. Goes right up a rock wall, only a top & bottom terminal, no stantions in between.

Ride is pretty quick, don't know the exact time. I hear the lines can get pretty long though. The two times I was there was in the spring (April) & there were hardly any lines for it. Liberty Bowl off the tram is one of the longest open bowl runs I've ever skied with a fairly steep consistant pitch top to bottom. Some of the other runs off the tram are out of my league. Out of all the areas I've skied out west Big Sky is my favorite. Skiing is great & the surrounding areas scenery & wild life can't be beat.

Saturday my wife and I lapped the tram sorta speak. Tram Line -> By Pass -> Rock Garden but Extension sucked so we would shoot down to Rocket or Gary's up Zoomer Chair then down either Pauli's or Avalanche over to the tram to make it interesting. We did that three times and never had to wait much - always got on the next tram.
Only problem - you are a captured audience and when someone boofs - well there is no escaping.
