that it is not raining right now is bothering me. i should have gone up north.

Raining in coastal NH. I’m driving up to Saddleback tomorrow for a few days and the webcam looks rainy. I think it’s going to be ok but I’m firmly in a state of denial.

Got up to 70 in the afternoon at Belle yesterday. Great spring bump skiing. Guess I'm just not ready for spring yet! Snowmaking trails still in decent shape but base area was a swimming pool at day's end.

Belleayre Run half bumped up top to bottom:




Glad I bought my K midweek pass this season. It'll be my only shot at getting to 50 days.

Glad I bought my K midweek pass this season. It'll be my only shot at getting to 50 days.

Was going to do K Spring pass but after the $100 price increase and the lack of snow this winter it doesn’t seem worth it. Hoping to hit 50 days still but looking unlikely.

i support listing what skis you used. interesting that you hardly ever reach for anything >100. its been a relatively poor season out west tho

my early season was on my dps wailer 105s which are my rock skis, other eastern days on black crows corvus, western days on kastle bmx118s

i broke my kastles in Idaho, so i need to buy a new 115-120ish powder ski. i also just got fischer ranger 102fr

i need to figure out what bindings to put on what. i think my pivots are coming off my kastles and onto the fischers, and a pair of griffons i have sitting around will eventually go on TBD pow ski

It has certainly been lousy in Utah. I cancelled my Feb trip after the local buds said that there was only three inches since I was there in January which was barely acceptable. I have had two "powder days" this year, which on the least coast would be epic, but in UT, sorta mundane. I had the Nordica 104's out for one, and the Stockli 95's for the other. I really in love with the 95's, they are the swiss army knife of skis. Also, the AR's are a unicorn with an 83mm waist and a 130 shovel, so they can go through most anything.

The biggest issue has been that it's been very crusty on most of my days, including yesterday at Snowbasin, so something wider and softer wouldn't have done the job. One bud who's been in Park City for 23 years says this is the worst season he's ever seen.

I leave tomorrow after a 3 week stint, and it looks like it's just in time as it's getting much warmer, and the cover is marginal to begin with. Maybe a couple of days at WB in a couple of weeks, but looks like this is another one in the books.

I ususally reserve Pivots for hard snow skis, as they're a real pita to put on if they come off when there's pow. I typically go with Griffons on pow skis. I also often put on demos so I can play with the fore and aft placement. Never had an issue with the Griffon demo clamps.

 

[Edd]

Day 2 of 3 at Saddleback. Pretty firm, groomers only. They had a couple of ungroomed open yesterday but they were awful and closed today. The wind shut down Kennebago yesterday. Need the wind to mellow out and just a bit warmer. Tomorrow looks to be better.

 

[chuckstah]

Thanks for the update Edd. I'll be there tomorrow with very low expectations. I stopped in at Attitash on my way up today and it is absolutely terrible.

Serendipitously got golden bubble for what will probably be last summit run this season (also got it first day of season). Spotty coverage but mountain was empty and the snow was decent. Shame this season never really took off, always seemed one storm away from great conditions.

Took a half day to get some skiing in before leaving for Florida. Surface was awesome today, silky smooth but coverage is going quick. Hopefully come back to some fresh snow for a Jay trip.

Looks a little better after March...

1. Wachusett 12/21
2. Loon 2/9
3. Wachusett 3/9
4. Sugarbush 3/13
5. Jay 3/14
6. Jay 3/15
7. Sugarbush 3/16
8. Killington 3/25
9. Pico 3/26

Up to 5 days on Ikon, 2 on Indy, and 2 at Wachusett that I didn't pay a dime for. Not sure I'll get any more days on Indy so obviously will lose on that this year, but I got my two best days on it so I can hang my hat on that. Work is straight out for me in April and then I'm in Florida the last week of the month, but I still plan on getting 3-4 more days at Killington before the season is done. So at 9 days I'm probably almost breaking even on Ikon but still not great.

Plenty of snow still left at Belle. They are open this week and also have pond skimming planned for 4/9. Assuming they will be open this week then close next week and open for last weekend on 4/9-10. Plan is to get 3-4 days of skiing there this week.

17) 03-27-2022 - Pats Peak - Their final day of this season. Not a lot of people there, a bit "crisp" first thing on most upper trails. and got greeted at the top by the liftie telling me I was the "first of the last" as I grabbed first chair. Pretty good grooming job. A few bare spots, but all were easily avoidable. Got 24 runs in by 12:30 and called it a day.

Not included in this list are many evenings at Mt. Southington, a small hill down in CT.
Next season I plan to make it back to Catamount and Bolton, and visit Waterville Valley for the first time. Maybe Saddleback is in the cards too.

Bonus: The Indy Pass saved me 300 bucks. Well worth the $279.

Day 40 tomorrow.

Edit: it rained all night here and then I saw the forecast for falling temps today. Skiing on freezing up water logged snow was not appealing so I juggled my schedule and will make day 40 on Sat 4/2 instead.
