What is that circular thing under the lift in your picture?
Was a big target to throw empty cans at. Pretty good idea because sometimes it’s hard to even find a garbage can at mountains.
From Mount Snow Monday...

Yeah I've skied at Belle a lot but it hasn't been worth it to drive anywhere else especially since Belle resurfaced all of their open terrain again and opened a bunch of trails. More trails on tap to open soon and snow was great everywhere on the hill yesterday. I'll be at Plattekill for the holiday weekend they're finally getting up to speed as well. God bless the independent operators and NYS!

day1 - 11/20 - killington - north ridge laps
day2 - 12/05 - stratton - ripping groomers day trip
day3 - 12/18 - sugarbush - not pretty, scary drive to rutland
day4 - 12/19 - killington - 11" reported, skied more densely, first 'good' day
day5 - 12/30 - cannon - impressive conditions and terrain variety given the weather challenges
day7 - 01/08 - stratton - repetitive groomers but good snow and over 30k vertical. scrapped the overnight due to ice storm next day
day8 - 01/16 - jay - finally tree skiing. jay always quietly has thick coverage while others are hurting. great day. scrapped 1/17 due to fear of driving in snow.
i usually have about twice as many days by now, but the poor weather and xmas trip to tennessee really set me back. having day trips this weekend and last due to weather is also annoying. first world problems tho. great to finally be in the woods.

Wasn’t planning on skiing today but my cousin was going so I tagged along. Great decision, not too crowded and powder was an amazing change from the icy groomers I’ve been on for a month. Lots of people were not prepared for it though, had one couple complaining to me about the lack of grooming and another guy say the conditions were unacceptable (while skiing a trail that had thin cover signs). Hope more snow is on the way.

the storm really saved my early season. Magic first thing was so great and the refills all morning were sweet. I love storm days. Today was more untracked and tree runs at stratton. there was alot of stuff not open on the sunbowl and kidderbrook side and it didn't seem like patrol could give a shit. 15" from storm and another inch On top. snow quality at stratton seemed much better than Magic. probably due to elevation.

Awesome day, some crowds but manageable. Stayed in the woods the whole day (Trials and a few different glades on Sunbrook). Sunbrook was surprisingly deep and untracked so it was a blast. Felt great to finally be in the woods again.
