The Notch (proper) was socked in and only cleared slightly this afternoon.



Luckily the clouds broke up to the north.



The warm weekend meant we lost a bunch of snow.



Stay safe out there folks.

Where in the mid-Atlantic are you thinking?

Ski Liberty in Southern Pennsyltuckia. Maybe Roundtop...

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.

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!

Shout out to buckethead for the beta and encouragement to get out on my home hill 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.


Shredded Moz


Northface

Upper Face was partially blown and it was a hoot skiing grass in between the whales.

glad to see you got some good turns in.

and dang, nice cover up north, bumps and everything.
we need some ground freeze here.

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




After a warmup lap on SB>Fling headed to HG




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.







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.




None to a minute wait for rides





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




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



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.





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.

[Vt-Freeheel]

Road trip?

[Peruvian]

Road trip?

Is Mohawk Mtn. on Epic or Ikon? I can't remember.

[Vt-Freeheel]

Not on Ikon, how about this? pick me

I'll put the box on, got a tent?

[yellofin]

Road trip?

Now you sound like Bunny?

I think its indy, I've been once when it was WROD.

My home bump will get hammered.

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...
