As I said on my prior day MRG report, I spent Saturday evening on my laptop ?..which is why I was baffled that I felt lousy on Sunday morning, like I had a hangover. Go figure ??maybe I should take up drinking. Well, I dragged myself up to Glen Ellen for the annual Northern Vermont NSP...

Early in the A.M. on Saturday, I left the present Snow Capital of The East (eastern Massachusetts ? I swear that Hudson has the most snow) for the anemic sickly snowpack of the supposed Holy Land. Due to some scheduling, Jon a pro patroller was made the Flight Commander for the weekend for...

Hit the road at 3:45AM and it seemed like my truck just wouldn?t warm up enough to ward off the subzero chill through NH and VT. At Stark Mountain, the snow was showing signs of wear and patches of glare ice would pop up. Later in the morning, I got in some sled practice. Halfway down Fall...

Nuthin? too much to report regarding Saturday. Cat Bowl has been skiing well for me this year and Paradise below the Grandfather?s entrance were very nice. I was sent on a bit of an assignment down LA and I found nice skiing there as well as solitude. I started to sample a choice tree shot I...

Headed up The Single and I was able to have my choice of trails. So, I got 2nd tracks down Cat Bowl in the half foot or so of new snow. Fortunately, the Main Mountain was closed on Friday to let it dry out. Sweet. Found some tough slabby stuff on upper Liftline/Upper Glade and went for an...

Well, I expected this Saturday to be twice as better at MRG than last weekend ? on a scale of 1-to-10, I anticipated a 3 rather than a 1.5 ! I got Quacky for trail check and it was not that bad. Nice skier packed powder on top and glare ice underneath. That meant for every 4 or 5 turns of...

Right! Like I say regarding skiing: April 1st, NOT December 1st .....well, within reason.

Certainly, we would see some snow this weekend, I thought to myself ?? On Friday, I figured we would endure a bit of rain at the end of the day, which would be followed by some over night snow! :) Ahem. Friday was actually a very good day. There was edgeable hardpack with kind of a...

Inspired by Scott Doppler?s weather postings as well as the Weather Channel (though they probably both get their information from the same place), I was game for some pre-work skiing! I got on the road a little after 5:00AM with the intention of hitting Wa-Wa and running into Patrick. But, me...

Nashoba Valley RULED, this morning. Report coming later this evening.

That's startin' to look pretty good right now. Has anyone been out to experience the damaged goods? Who will be brave enough to try Killington next week when the holiday whordes show up on the brutally groomed porcelain? ......so ya' think you're brave? .....can ya' take it? .....well can...

The drive up was pleasant compared to the prior Friday?s and the weeks commutes into The Bowels of Route 128 (that?s the notorious highway with lotsa? cahs driven by real live Massholes ?.like me). Crowds on the weekend were light and snow was great everywhere on-piste. I didn?t try off-piste...

You must check out some of the yummy pics found as follows: http://www.chauvinguides.com/PhotoArchi ... rchive.cfm and http://www.tuckerman.org/photos/tucks/

Gee, I wasn't too far off the mark: http://www.firsttracksonline.com/boards ... .php?t=295 Seriously, recently I've been snubbing Stowe for Sugarbush - take away the Chin scene and I think Sugarbush has equivalent (maybe better) terrain and it's cheaper. There's no off-piste at Sugarbush...

He should at least tell us if Abe's is open.

I had planned to meet Lars at the base at 9:00 as well as Marta. Lars also had said that Evan might show up as well as perhaps some others. Some light snow had fallen overnight, but certainly not enough to cover up what would be a frozen death crust :twisted: from the wet...

Anticipating a forecasted early season dump, I eagerly rolled onto I-495 in the evening rain. Rain persisted ?.and persisted. Uh-oh, I thought. Then around Bethel VT, sleet, ice and frozen sludge fell from the black skies. Driving became brutal all the way to The Hyde Away where I quaffed...

My condolences. The weather forecast is looking lousy. Is Holiday Valley open? I've never been there, but I suspect that might be your best bet. Otherwise, I guess it's Huntah. Are the Steelers gonna' be on TV? Got any Iron Citys in the fridge? Maybe ESPN Classic will show the Immaculate...

Oooooh, ooooh, where didja' get the Middlebury pic/webcam shot from? As for this weekend ....unless something special happens this afternoon, I'll pass and cross fingers for next week. I'm predicting that the forecasted rain event around Thursday will be cold and minor and finish off with a...

I certainly agree with Marc regarding Corbett's. You can see Corbet's from the Tram. I avoid it because I'm a wuss and it also turns into a zoo and a long wait to drop in there. I'd rather spend my time skiing. Do indeed take a Tram ride to at least look at it, though. Every skier should at...
