North East Skiing Thread!!

Got some nice turns at Stowe this weekend. A couple inches each day kept the groomers nice but the trees were shit. Some spots with drifts up to the knee and other spots totally bare and bullet proof ice. Classic conditions lol.

 

Who’s at Wachusett tonight with the Cement Off Road parked next to me?

 

Think I got my last run in yesterday for the season in one of my spots. Will be branching out a little.

 

Ya- I was feeling depressed Wednesday. We have so much snow. Wednesday was 60 and I’m thinking it may have been the last perfect day.

 

It was a good run.

 

Ok, we’re not done. At least I’m not yet...how’s the snowpack and quality around Greylock, Brodie? @DrFunker ? @Bridge4 ?I’m guessing it’ll be dust on crust until the next storm...
Anyone near Merck Forest or Manchester VT? ADK high peaks?
@BadDNA ? What’s it looking like in the NEK? Not that I’m allowed up there yet...

 

western ma is crust on crust. soon to be slush on crust. central adk just went through the same thaw-freeze. in the trees is complete shit. basically it's groomers for a while.

 

Last week - was very hard pack up high, very crusty down low.
Ice is forming on anything that has been highly traveled.
Best to go deeper and higher and wait for temps above freezing.
Greylock, up high, probably has a shit ton of snow. I have been hip deep in mid-April up there before. And this was a year like that.
Thinking Brodie is probably a touch better than my above report. Bet there are pockets on the sides.

 

Saturday at Hunter. Poured until 11am. Then the sun was blasting.

 

Plattakill on Monday: Pouring rain until about 11am. Got two runs of slush then HEAVY winds and freezing temps. By 2 it was rock hard ice and by 4 o’clock it was snowing. Odd day to say the least.
But hey, I’ve skied big March storms in the past.... ya never know.

 

Lake Placid got 4"-6" of powder Monday night and Whiteface is claiming another 3"-6" last night. I skied a defunct ski area to the east of the High Peaks this morning. We got less snow here, but there was still a couple of inches of powder over an icy base. Ungroomed stuff might be a little rough right now.

 

I'd say this is pretty close:

 

March is Killingtons highest snowfall month. Bring it on!

 

We went to Mt Snow on Sunday. It was my daughter's 1st and my son's 2nd time skiing. We plan on going to Mt Cranmore next weekend.

 

great day for SL skis! Definitely more tired at the end of the day making 1000x the turns! Haha

 

WF yesterday, Gore today. Legs feel good after two days in a row on the short skis

 

Love a set of slalom skis for some hard core tight turning. But after 3 runs or so, I'm done. Dont like that much turning. Love me some GS skis though!

 

gotta mix it up!! They were my first two days in them this year. They are so much fun! I usually have 2-3 pair in the truck and swap throughout the day! Missing a few in this pic while I was testing out the new rack

 

My truck everyday i go to the mtn has 4 sets in it. There is also a SL, and GS sets in the pull out drawer.

 

Awesome! Never know what the day will bring
