Luckily the clouds broke up to the north.

The warm weekend meant we lost a bunch of snow.

Attachment 352729

Stay safe out there folks.

Around there, trust you and your ladies are well sir... I may have a homebrew question for you in the homebrew thread if you're feeling charitable with you sagacity.

Great snow today, finally got in a spring ski day. Well minus the sun and shorts. Just a few downpours. Figured this is the year to ski in crappy weather as there were no lines. Attachment 352745Attachment 352746

Edit to add I'm also using the filter buff. No fogging issues. I do need to check the filter every couple of runs to make sure it's not getting bunched up.

yep some really nice skiing this morning at the Bush minus the crowd.might be time to retune with a high of 7 tuesday

I wish my early-season legs could have skied today, but they are still pretty unhappy about yesterday!

It was pad day, ops was dropping the pads from the chair for patrol to put them up on the towers. Scottski and I volunteered to help.

We had fun inspecting the manmade, and the super thin natch.

Finally got out for day one[1] after the crowd left and the rain stopped


Attachment 352778

After a warmup lap on SB>Fling headed to HG


Attachment 352779

They haven't finished Parachute yet and the crossover to DS was barely covered with natural snow. The footprints were soft and skied ok, for footprints.




Attachment 352780


During my 6 laps this guy kept getting closer to me, watched him maching down the hill hitting the same lips launching big. His facial expression when I passed him on the lift looked painful, and near the top 4 patrollers heading down with a backboard didn't look good.
Take about 10% off there.


Attachment 352781

None to a minute wait for rides


Attachment 352782


Hiked to the summit platform. Wind out of the west/nw was strong.


Attachment 352783

Run to the bottom included the awful Jester, sand over yellow/orange cat tracked ice. bleh.

Attachment 352784

Rest of the hill looked like this. Todays dusting won't stop the ground from freezing, which is the only high point.
Grooming low today when I got up, we need snow.


Attachment 352785


ps jelly of that powbmps sun drenched run, briefest glimpses of the sun here yesterday.

All the bitching about down country skiers not being able to come to VT seems to have worked. Winter storm Gail is expected to pound the Poconos, Cats, Berkshires, and the Litchfield hills.

Road trip?

well done VT-free.
bummer about the downed skier but it is way early to be taking too many foolish chances out there.
hard to believe i beat you to day one...strange year indeed.
and damn, the weekend did a job on that painted-white look at the bush posted friday.

you know where i'll be for this [anti-jinx] so-called storm.

Sorry all. I moved to PA and took the snow with me. If it continues we can talk about a go fund me for a home and state citizenship deal? I hear the steaux area is nice [emoji3].

In the meantime I am watching the radars and preparing to storm chase the poconoconoconos. Whooohoo!

No doubt. Look at that last pic of mine above. A river runs through it...

Probably got more vert at Belle after I left but for some reason only felt inspired to write about Plattekill...
