Bell got 12” of the heavy and it’s relatively empty here over, been making fresh tracks and burning my quads all day.... too bad my kore 93s are coming Tuesday, heard platekill is honoring any season pass tomorrow so I may call an audible and hit them up in the am

For anyone heading up 91 from the CT area this evening, as of about 5:30, it's currently dry roads and 43 degrees on my car thermometer in the Northampton area. Easy ride until you get what looks to be roughly 1/2 way up VT or start climbing up into the spine of the Greens

If we didn't stop for gas in Deerfield,MA and Fliet O' Fish in Bratt...it would have been about a two hour drive door to door. Very smooth sailing, But our road is in full Mud Season mode. Welcome to the 5th season!

Great day at Stratton!

Erhh, I mean half day, as I didn’t get there till 12:37. But great 2 1/2 hrs nonetheless!

Snow was dry and fliffy. Frequent refills by the wind.

I think I made the right call not going up last night. People on the chair said morning snow was wet and heavy. Not much fun. And as all but one of the upper mountain lift were on windhold, the line were insane. But by the time I showed up, the lines were gone, snow dried off...luckily me.

Yup.
Shhhh.

Assume this is only single mountain passes?

Plattekill was great today. I love this mountain!

Wow - what a great day. Had about 3rd tracks on Yahoo, then Yahoo bump side with thigh deep drifts, cathedral brook was great, then when the gondi opened untouched powder on dot rebel. Peekamoose>esopus(sp?) was a blast....

Just a great great day....

Mad river skiing great. Single chair closed, but I’m hiking and getting deep first tracks every run. Shocked that it’s closed but I need the hike practice for silverton anyway

Hiking all the way up the single side?

Everything but a couple glades. Dream catcher is listed as closed. I never looked over there to see if it is poachable. Was having to much fun on the trails to even worry about it.

Sounds like you timed it right! Thanks for the update. Heading over there today.

Too funny. Was talking to a local this morning. Another came along and started telling this story. I showed him the post. It is a small world!

Conditions are awesome at belle today, gondolas been walk on for singles all day, temp rose fast though, I’m sweating my dick off out here

 

[kingslug]

Insane crowds at Stowe until 230...

 

[Glenn]

Really good day on the hill at Stratton today. Conditions were really good late morning into early afternoon. Things got a little soft after that, but still good. Hit Kidderbrook Ravine for a little tree skiing. Comfortable temps, manageable crowds; a great day to be outdoors.

Speaking of the other kind of trees....lots of folks lighting up out in the open these past few weekends.

Anyone hit platty today? I was tempted to but laziness and convenience won out at 8am today

Yes, it was awesome, both today, and yesterday. Half price with BOGO Saturday, free with my Greek pass today, season's pass holder day. A hell of a lot of great skiing for $37.
