Attachment 128392
Day two at Sugarloaf (or Thighburner Hill) did not suck. Still not a loud turn yet. Shockingly few people and hero quality packed powder. Skied like a Western resort. Wife and I are stoked. If it snows tomorrow I may never return home;)

Hasn't been a breeze in the two days we've been here (that may change tomorrow) so the snow fell straight down and covered the trails wall to wall. Have been hoping to make this trek for more than thirty years and it's been so much better than advertised. The new snow helps, sure, but this is a big, burly mountain that every EC skier should experience. Can I use cut and paste to copy this post on Alpine Zone?Quote:

VTF- I remember that moment of me sliding past you as well and thinking "is VTF going to be last person I see on earth?", But then I saw ML242 and TWD at around 40mph a little further down :biggrin:
Here is another of Moughoul enjoying teh deepness, about 6" new on Madonna this morning, on top of the old unconsolidated snow from previous day.

Ok everyone, pour a little out for Ullr tonight. It appears the rain snow line is drifting south for Friday's storm, we just need to have Ullr nudge that line a a bit further South.
Hello interwebs-- long time, first time. I'll be driving north in the early hours of Saturday, chasing the season's first dawn patrol somewhere, the question is where... MRG is looking ripe for Saturday. Sugarloaf will still be in. Anyone chancing it and staying further south? dare I say... (stratton?)
Btw- GP, that shot is money. Er, a money shot. I mean. I like your photo
too funny Bottleman, rode the lift with you twice today, reading the last few pages of this thread reminds me of our chat about people today:biggrin: My buddy showed you the cut from choker to get back to the Skyline lift. Come back soon, you Mad River folks are good luck.Quote:

^^^I would check the weather forcast closely. I think Northern VT on the spine might have the coldest air throughout the precip time period.
twas my pleasure Dogger, nice day for all three of us to break in some new office supplies. Today was sunny and real nice leftovers, WX looks like we might get punched again. Be nice to get a second day on the 138's in this week:biggrin:Quote:

Thats awesome you guys are having such a great trip! Picked the right time for sure. I would really like to ski the loaf on a deep day like that. I have only skied it in Corn a long time ago.Quote:

Seems like a longshot to me but there was lots of chatter about the possibility of opening the snowfields tomorrow. That would not suck.Quote:
