Anybody have any thoughts on what conditions might be like at Mount Greylock after the recent storm?
 
I imagine it will look gorgeous and ski like crap. Think knee deep blower on top of rocks, sticks and brush. Nobody has any base. Wait for the sun and wind to firm it up, then catch it after the next storm.

(This is some speculation I my part. I base this on my observations of conditions in central Mass and reports from resorts in southern VT.)

Note, I did have fun in the backcountry this weekend, although I stuck to low-angled stuff and my bases still got savaged.

I skinned up the Bellow Pipe Trail and skied the Thunderbolt Trail from top to bottom yesterday.

The snow was light and dry, the temperature, it was cold but manageble. Fortunately, we were sheltered from the wind everywhere except the top.

The skin up was at least as fun as the ski down. Mostly it was ok. Didn't hit a lot of stuff underneath, but you had to be careful... Lots weedy stuff sticking up trhough the snow, expecially near the top. There was one section about halfway down that skied excellent - nice powderturns that felt great!

People have been skiing it and after we came down there aren't a lot of freshies left. There isn't enough snow to really venture into the trees either. All in all a fun day and the skis survived with minimal base damage.
