My last day at Platty was on 2/24 and things looked grim; you can see that Freefall in the middle of the shot is essentially dirt:



I thought yesterday might be my last day there but when I pulled into the lot I was amazed!



In addition to the natural snow that accumulated there was a serious snowmaking effort and the skiing was really good!



Freefall was outstanding




Turned out to be a great day. Kudos to Plattekill it's been a tough season but they have really hung in there and I appreciate the effort Lazlo and staff make to provide a quality experience. Never expected to score a leftover powder day yesterday it's almost magical.

Bumps on Plunge were sweet as well:

Belle got 3-4" of cream cheesy snow on Wednesday and everything had a nice covering to start the day yesterday. I stuck to the bump trails which were very good up until 1pm when most of the cream cheese had been scraped off. Yahoo and Belleayre Run bumps were awesome and I spent a bunch of time on both. By the time I got over to Winnisook the bumps had been thoroughly scraped off and were nothing but water logged ice bumps. That was a somewhat hair raising descent. Overall another surprisingly snowy ski day considering the recent weather. I'm feeling pretty spoiled!

I was at Crotched today as well, lots of melt since yesterday, but I really liked the spring conditions except on Jupiter's. That was too firm. Word on the street is next weekend might be it with the dwindling snowpack, but they'll likely keep piecing it together to make the closing day of March 27th. Vail is stubborn and will open with a trail or 2.
Day 28 total today, I think.

Belle on 3/13 was great, especially good skiing in lift line areas like under the Gondi and lift 8. Low angle glades were fun too. Easily a foot of snow, more in some places like Utsayantha. And it's always nice to get a rare personal action shot, this one on Tongora late in the day:



Killington on 3/14 was also excellent, everything but the steepest trails and glades was open and skiing well:




My last 6 ski days have all been outstanding, powder or powder leftovers every day.

[KustyTheKlown]

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

I've been skiing a Stockli Laser AX over 90% of the time this season. I've got my eye on getting SR95s. Probably won't need them this season, the AX crushes anything under 8" of dense snow it feel like. Never tried the AR.
