1. November 23, 2022, Killington - typical early K. Mouse trap was a treat guns on / no grooming
2. November 25, 2022, Stratton - after the rain cleared out it was a great late morning and afternoon. 4 nice trails off the top, nice soft snow, stayed warm. No lines.

1) 10/28/22 - Big Snow, NJ
2) 11/23/22 - Windham, NY

• 2.5 routes, one groomed, one with huge wales. 30k vert in 4 hours. laps. it appears my new gym habits have paid off, as i usually punk out after 10k on day 1.

3) 11/25/22 - Sugarbush, VT

• rolled the dice on the weather. it rained lightly most of the drive. a light mixed precip most of the day. got wet but never that bad. goggles were never an issue etc. never went to gate house. got 20k vert just on snowball>fling. soft snow in the warm wet.

4) 11/26/22 - Stratton, VT

• 4 summit to mid-mountain routes. pretty impressive actually. snow started a bit rough due to the rain on friday, but got pretty ok as the sun came out, particularly on frank's. not too crowded, never had to wait more than a few chairs, even at peak time. drifter - the only 'beginner' run available - was a bit of a nightmare at times.

good weekend. stoked to be back on snow. stoked to have 4 days in before december.

fuck it felt dangerous out there though. I was just waiting for some jabroni to take out my kids. Waaay too many people for those 4 trails. Franks was best for sure.

More hardpack skiing.

Was hoping for saturday at Bell, but weather doesn't look great.

 

[KustyTheKlown]

Yea I scrapped vt hotels and was thinking windham Sunday but even there it’s gonna be a hard freeze. Dot gov says sun and high of 32. After a thorough soaking sat. Sucks.

 

[JimG.]

My plan is Belle Fri and Sun.
I do have access to Windham on my Ikon base pass but Belle is closer and I prefer the terrain open there to what's at Windham anyway.

Today is #11. 8 at SR, 3 at loon. Planning on loon again tomorrow.

Staying home saturday, not sure about Sunday, blacked out at loon and the drive to SR probably not worth it after a monsoon and hard freeze. May call an audible and go to Pats, $37.50 with ragged pass discount. Probably break even on the gas to SR.

How do you think conditions will be at Loon tomorrow? Enough groomers with decent conditions to make a day trip from Boston worth it?

Fun day today. Nothing new open but they made more snow on Seneca and were blowing snow over on the east side of the ridge.

 

[KustyTheKlown]

wish i played hooky for catskills yesterday. i fucking hate sitting at home on a winter saturday. burke already called it for today on social media. the radar looks disgusting. i'm gonna prob be a masochist and ski ice at windham tomorrow. oh well, time for coffee and soccer.

4) 11/26/22 - Stratton, VT

5) 12/04/22 - Windham NY - Glad I came out. Better than I expected it to be after the rain. Firm but totally skiable. The high speed six serves up 1350vertical fast and the 8 am opening is appreciated. I’ll leave at noon with 30k skied and the good sore in the legs, and be home by 3
