I have this morning left to make some turns and the temptation is real on the chutes. Well, was real until I saw the crown line in the zephyr bowl on skiers right of the lift, so just about same aspect of the chutes. And that 3’ crown line that is 200-300’ long is enough for me to smarten up. Whatever they got to go yesterday in zephyr was huge. Pretty sure it was delayed opening because they needed to remove all the trees that came in that slide yesterday morning. It was pretty impressive. Ski Patrol was stand on the top of the chutes yesterday afternoon and it was constant bombs every ten minutes from 12-2pm.


but to speak to lift lines…. Skied on the lift for the last two days. Played at squaw on Friday, I’ll never go back during a storm cycle or if the wind is blowing, place is useless. Alpine meadows was Saturday and Sunday. Base to base was closed for the millionth time since just opening because of wind. Alpine still had crazy lines but it was the weekend, the skiing was great. Wind had a bunch of upper stuff on hold as well.

Rose delivered. Not only did they get almost twice as much snow as north lake, but the wind protection seems to be a little better for storms coming from the west. Not to mention, 8260 which is the base of rose, is just about the top of palisades.

Agreed with all of the above. Glad you're getting some!

Had a pass a sqauw that winter too. Mostly skied rose. Sqauw alpine was typically a shitshow on a pow day, even a weekday. Never tried a weekend pow day there; wouldn't dare.

That doesn’t seem intentional to you?

The marketing department is all over this shit.
Like it or not.

They also upped the price of a PBR from $5 to $6. Capitalist bastards.

7/8" of sleet soaked with rain this morning bob 34º and calm.
Plow has been going by, bang bang bang of the edge trip catching on the frozen ruts of the latest mud season. Third pass has furrowed up more dirt than snow, maybe it won't be so bumpy so the jackass weekenders can drive even faster tomorrow.

Mount St Helens grooming style, the cold temps this week helped with snowmaking output, actually some dry "snow" was produced

Nice lineup of Snow Illogic Misters dropped off in anticipation of coating some guests tomorrow

Got here too late, wasn't any fresh left

Remnants of wins "open everything, let them ski it too the dirt for trail count" 4-6" over dirt and rock. Might have been nice tomorrow if it was left alone and the new wet sleet/snow had frozen.

Vis is not great at all but suiting up soon for the soft turns before the north wind locks it up.

4” down here in the valley, hill reporting 10” in last 12 hrs. Raining steady

Crazy weather in SW NH. Deluge last night at 33 F. Walked the dog on bare dirt road this morning at 33 F. A half hour later and it's 45 F.

If I didn’t have family commitments this weekend I would be here

Thanks BH. It's my kid. I'm a crappy parent. He's 20 and it was his first time there. Psyched to go back when there is more open.

That sums up the ski area marketing this season in a nutshell. Bush was doing really well right after Christmas w/ coverage, intersting seeing the stats of So VT mountains claiming more open than Kton and north.... Rock skiing this season seems to be all we got.

nice try canaduh, the camera angle trickery doesn't fool me. That is neither as steep, nor as deep as it seems. LOL

Good day to get some if you're up here. I'm enjoying watching the cars turn to marshmallows out my front window.

Got some deec night pow last night tho.

[bad french canadian accent] this "crappy" it means rad? [/bad french canadian accent]

Anyone care to school me on the ins and outs of skiing Massif du Sud or Le Massif? We have reached a breaking point in Central VT.

Heading to Le Massif over presidents with the kids. I was a Mt St Anne person growing up so we are gonna ski there for a few days too and see if we can fall out of the Gondola while we are at it.

Le Massif is a great mountain. Worth skiing. Buy tickets in advance online. That’s all you need to know. There’s also really good local cheese, bread, and beer in the Charlevoix region.

Well firstly there are two "Massifs" so you should probably not go around and ask for beta on Le Massif, because there is a 50% it will be the wrong one. That's for starters. However, both are kind of going off at the moment.

The one you are talking about is not the one bottle wants. Or is it?
