Overall, a good day was had. It didn't rain as the weatherguys and weatherbabes predicted it would, so it was a good call. Very temperate, perhap 40F by mid afternoon. <BR> <BR>The Choice <BR>Had planned to go to Mad River, but with the single chair being down, that limited a good chunk of...

It did NOT rain at Sugarbush VT at any time during the skiing day. <IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)"> <BR> <BR>Dash the weather guessermen and guesserbabes... <BR>Great job - they can be wrong 50% of the time and still keep their jobs. Wish I had...

I was thinking of going to MRG tommorrow. If the single is stil down, does that mean I can't ski the entire Starks area?

I thought the mobs didn't show up till the day after xmas, no? I was thinking about going out early day Mon/Tues to MRG or Bush. Figured the public schools didn't get out till Wed. so I'd be safe. Been there a few days ahead of time? Whattya think?

maybe if we can get all the jet aircraft moving the same way at once, we can move the jetstream to keep the cold air comin' south. Call your airline now.

Wow. Never seen one like that before. I hope the trails fared better. I thought MWV was spared most of the rain. Guess not.

My corp. announced a total shutdown the week before xmas. Looking like I'll sneak off by myself for day trip to mrg or bush, before the schools get out for vaca. Poor me, all my skiing buds still must work, but...someone has to do it... <BR> <BR>My motto "ski it when you can", admittedly...

If you want to see how much it rained, <BR>go here (Morrisville, VT shown as an example) <BR><A HREF="http://www.weatherunderground.com/US/VT/Burlington/KMVL.html" TARGET="_top">http://www.weatherunderground.com/US/VT/Burlington/KMVL.html</A>, locate "history and almanac", select a date...

They must be counting manmade. And in fact, they're probably using it for base, all over the place. So if they're still laying down base, that may explain why little is open. <BR> <BR>Stowe closed over 50% of it's trails that were open on Monday. Suggests that the snow was washed away, at...

Conditions were quite good (for late March) all around. The black diamonds that faced north were the best, having preserved the snow. It's all corn all around, but they've got a pretty deep base. No one around, so few people they closed up the shop and cafe early. Must have been 25 cars in...

It's my understanding that they saw some rain, but not near as much as the areas from Rutland south. Cannon closed on Sunday. Even Orford, a bit further north of JP cancelled their lessons program due to the rain. <BR> <BR> JP is claiming 6" of powder last night. They quickly upgraded all...

Spent the day at K-Mart, skied all over the mtn. Bear Mt. Outer Limits was especially good. Spent most of the day on Diamonds and double-diamonds, simply to avoid the crowds on all the blues. Lots of people skiing in "herds." <BR> <BR>I liked the original resort trails best, with the clunky...

Looking for tips... <BR> <BR>I'm pretty tired of the wide boulevard trails. Where have all the "old-time", narrow, winding alpine trails in New England? Doesn't have to be a black. Blues can be fun too when narrow enough. <BR> <BR>VT and NH of greatest interest.. <BR> <BR>Thanks!

Took my 6-year out for a day of cruising, getting her more comfortable with speed. <BR> <BR>What a diff between conditions two weeks ago and this time. No fluff, it was largely corn, albiet dry corn. First time I've seen snow guns running anywhere this year. First time I've seen ruts on the...

Actually did this one as a day trip from Boston. I-89 froze over around Sunapee, NH. Witnessed the immediate aftermath of five (count-em, five) rollovers, in a five-mile stretch, all having just occurred, about 7:30am. Several ambulances were enroute. Extensive Damage. So we slowed down...

Agree with Frontrange: Holiday Valley has the most vertical in the area, which is about 800 feet vertical - that's about as good as it gets. <BR> <BR>If you're willing to mosey east one hour to the south of Rochester, there is Bristol Mt. which I believe has some 1000 feet of vertical. From...

A great place for families looking for a low-key, low-price place for the kids to learn. The place feels like resorts of 40 years ago, but is up to date in terms of grooming, equipment, buildings and infrastructure. <BR> <BR>Grooming was beautiful. Then again, every area in the area has had...

This is more a review of the resort than the conditions. While we have always been the black diamond type, given what BW is, I've oriented this review to the serious advanced intermediate skier. <BR> <BR>Though we are Cannon regulars, we expected intolerable weekend crowds since there's snow in...

Thanks for the great update. <BR> <BR>How were the crowds and liftlines? I was fearful that snow in everyone's backyards would bring out everyone. As I buzzed along Rte. 93 I saw way more traffic than I did at any point last year. Like to hear about crowds (or lack thereof) at the other Ski...

I know about <A HREF="http://www.slidingonthecheap.com/" TARGET="_top">http://www.slidingonthecheap.com/</A> but I want to take it down to the next level, those deals that are buried down in organizations many of us may belong to and not even realize!
