No, it was a good thing IMO! I like being able to scroll through a long period of reports at a glance. No biggie tho.

Thanks again. That 'right click' trick will give me what I need. I do know about the changing folders and I always have the latest link at hand. Admittedly had got used to the one address as that last No Bull folder didn't change after Jan even though it had far more messages in it than any...

Thanks for the responses. Franks's link does the trick like the old days, i.e. take me straight to the 'April 2003-Present' page in full screen (no menu at left or First Tracks title area at top)- much better for seeing pics! I don't know why the URL up top doesn't change for me as I click my...

Am I missing something, or is there no way to bookmark a URL directly to the current page of discussion headers, as there used to be? It seems I have to go to the homepage and then step through at least 6 seperate clicks (skip intro>contents>liftlines>eastern US>april 2003 to Present) to get to...

Man, I had no idea that I'd touch off the 'mother of all threads' here. I guess that lamenting the end of the season, not to mention considering whether or not it really needs to be the end, really brings us outta the woodwork! I only hope that somewhere somehow some ski area management types...

Thanks for that pic. Superstar looks just about how I'd expect almost a week on from my last visit. Weird how the melt patterns can vary- the top of the headwall seems to have sunk lower/faster than years past, but a couple of the areas in/around the bottom pitch held on a little longer. Heavy...

As a follow up to my thread-starting post above (great thread, too!), Kmart's website today now confirms, as I suspected, that Monday 5/26 will be their last day. I'm sure the cover is getting thinner by the hour. June 1st or beyond would've been no prob with the serious snowmaking of years past...

I remember reading of an area somewhere that experimented with preserving a large patch of snow into the summer by covering it with a huge 'space blanket' of sorts. As I recall it worked quite well, but I never saw anything else about it. <BR> <BR> Many areas could certainly make a decent go of...

Two gorgeous days on Superstar. The previous Kmart review sums it up pretty well. Apparently they started Monday skiing on/off lift but by the time I got there mid-day we were carrying the skis. Had to walk down the top 1/3 or so of the headwall, then snow was continuous until a gap at the...

Nice pix of our day out! Mr LftGly and I have known each other for many many years (possibly longer than some fellow readers have been alive!) and, like today, hook up to ski when we're able...and he can be talked off of Mt Washinton and onto a lift ;). <BR> <BR> As you can see, Superstar has...

Got no opinion on a general question of NH *versus* VT but there's little doubt that the latter, S VT in particular, has been in the bullseye this year as nicely illustrated by the above graphic. Certainly not complaining (and I almost fear jinxing it with analysis!) but anyone have any similar...

Haven't seen a Mt Snow report here yet this year. I've already had many fine days there in this epic early-season snow year, but Sat was the best yet. <BR> <BR> Watched it snow all day/night Fri with Mt Snow right in the bull's eye of the predicted accumulations and I knew I had to get it while...

Trees? Yup that was me (among others). Good cover in there, not as thick as 2 weeks ago but not as crusty either. A minimal but solid base with a few inches on top that was dense powder turning wetter by the hour because of the alternating sun and fog. Despite some hazards, found some nice lines.

Kmart received over a foot of snow earlier this week, this on top of 8" or more of natural (and lots of snowmaking) over the previous two weeks, so went up to sample the wares (was last up 10/29). The snow mostly fell Tues night and Wed. From what I heard today, it was powder first thing Wed...

Killington waited to open so they could take advantage of almost a full 24hr/day week of snowmaking and it paid off in more terrain and deeper snow than *ever* seen before on an opener. No pickup truck rides this time, they were doing about the same thing we saw a couple of weeks into last...

Drove up to Kmart for some June turns today. They closed Sat and I considered going but decided that I'd just as soon hike up and have the place to myself. <BR> <BR> I take back what I said before about them possibly being able to last another week. Superstar is toast, with the long flat...

The Kmart website now says that tommorrow, June 1st, will be the last day of lift operations. They also note that walking is now required "throughout the trail in various places". Last call!

Found the exact same atmospheric conditions at Kmart today as I did last Fri: unstable airmass(es) meant generally cloudy and humid, but with a surprising amount of sunny breaks...and the occasional light passing sprinkle (nothing that got one any wetter than the sweat worked up by skiing tho...

They were reporting 2-4" at 7:30 am, and there was at least that when I got there around noon, and still squalling. There had been steady light to moderate rain almost all the way up and I was getting worried but damn if it didn't turn to winter at the top of the Kmart access road (from about...

Good pic of that very last 'glade' of every year in the east, thanks for that! Other pix are great too, as usual. Kinda nice to ride a lift again, eh?
