So we did Killington with a couple of friends on Saturday and that was ok at the best and scary in a few spots from the frozen cat tracks. We were able to do most of what was open till a friend sprained a wrist at least. Followed that up with Sunday at Okemo and that was marginally better in a few areas but with worse frozen cat tracks to deal with by riding side areas of the trails. Got to ride out a inch of fresh snow that made it scarier due to hiding the frozen cat track as ok.
Board badly needing a edge sharpening ice or not. I Came home with the worst butt cheek bruise of my life.
The ride home out of Okemo was a little scary as we had frozen roads with a inch to two inches coming down from 3:30 till 6:30 drive time. Saw a fully burning car on the ride up Friday night. On the way home in the snow a upside down pickup heading southbound and a 10-12 car scattered pile up over a 1/4 mile on the Northbound lanes.
Anyone else ride Killington or Okemo this weekend?

Looks like I'm back at Belle tomorrow and Wednesday. Oh yeah, I'm getting a little bored at the same hill every day so far but frankly there is no incentive to travel twice as far each way to ski on my Beast 365 pass. I guess I could go to Windham with my IKON base pass included with the 365 but the place does not thrill me. Snowmaking and open terrain at Belle have been well managed by ORDA. Hoping for some new terrain tomorrow or Wed.

just seeing snow in the valleys and frosty trees on the mountains in the distance makes a huge psychic difference

Yes a lot more opened up than I thought it would. I had a high intermediate AM lesson which was a slight bummer but I got out in the PM and it was AMAZING.
You timed it right. I bet staying up there worked out well today considering that the road was closed overnight.

What did you think of Okemo on Friday? and Killington on Sunday?
I did Okemo in Sunday and it was a not a great time lol. Friday must of been rougher then Sunday but maybe not.
I did Killington on Saturday and it too was rough with Cat track ice patches

Bluebird and cold. Lots of snowmaking going on and everything skiing well. They got Wanatuska open and it skied great. Best conditions of the season so far plus 3-4" of natural to make everything look purty. Dot Nebel had fresh manmade all day top to bottom.
Snow in the forecast.

Today was #21. Kind of a screwed up day, first run school nurse called. Snuck in three more and then blamed traffic. 8 days at SR, 7 at loon, 5 at ragged, 1 at pats. Good news is one dose of antibiotics and the kid is cured, school policy is to stay out a day, got a skiing buddy tomorrow.

Good skiing yesterday. Belle claiming 13" of heavy wet snow down already and another 3-5" on the way.
Tomorrow should be good.

13. December 15, 2022: Brighton (cold night and new snow)
14. December 16, 2022: Alta/Snowbird (100" base, earliest run down Alf's, Baldy Express opening)
Skied Friday and Saturday at Belle.
Friday was great - the snow was dense, but boy, was it fun....
Friday night, the snow got a lot lighter, and Saturday they opened a bunch up that was closed for the whole storm, and they were simply fantastic. fortunate to be in the right place at the right time to be the first two civilians down Belleayre Run when they dropped the rope. Awesome run. Trail got immediately tracked out! So fun to watch....
Urtha...something, something....was sick. Mohawk, awesome, Winisook, great....
Just two incredible days. So thankful for them.
