CoastalWx Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 My day off but here I am putting the ski gear on again. It's bittersweet when the season ends, as you know there'll be snow till Memorial Day (it'll be time to plow out the work roads in a couple weeks), but once it's over I actually have to think about what clothes to wear each day. Snowpants are no longer business attire after April 19th. I definitely envy you lol. Not a bad gig you have. Enjoy the turns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Looks like Bolton Valley will have almost all their terrain open this weekend...I'm pretty pumped to just get out one more time. I may be doing Sunapee on Sunday since I have a free lift ticket there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professional Lurker Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 As it turns out, bolton is out for me on Sunday. Sugarbush is in on Monday though. 10am first chair, so at least I don't have to wake up at the crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Man if any of you can get at the mtns today..should be awesome. It was. arguably the best day of the season for me. Snow was a great consistency. Dense but not wet. And plenty of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be doing Sunapee on Sunday since I have a free lift ticket there. Just back from Sunapee, coverage is very good still, but things got slow by the afternoon and I forgot my Zardoz . I think lack of hard freeze last night softened things a bit much. If you like groomers it should be great for tomorrow am, especially assuming they freeze up overnight. Woods and natural snow trails are pretty much done there at this point, but a few were still technically open. The addition of the Sun Bowl high speed lift is a big upgrade there, the old one was terribly slow. This lift used to be the old Northstar Express at Okemo which was replaced by the heated orange couch lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was quite firm through midday, and the top stayed slick all day. Down at lower elevations it did start to break up. The corn snow tomorrow, Monday, and other days this week should be prime. Mild and sunny days, with cold nights lined up, coupled with what is now a granular snow from yesterday's rain...its going to be a refreshingly nice couple days to be outside.

Wildcat was a sheet of ice, and while the temp was warmish, the day-long occasional flurries and wind did not make it feel like spring at all. Went for a hike to Arethusa Falls later, just the first signs of water moving, but still solid top to bottom. Amazing snowcover there, too. I'll try post a picture later.

The weather sounds similar to what it felt like today at Hunter Mtn in the Catskills. Cold and windy.. With a stray flake here or there. 2 runs up high were a sheet of ice. But most runs had really good soft snow and plenty of coverage and plenty of moguls. Overall, a great day despite the wind chill factor. After next weekend I'm only aware of 3 places left that will be open..(Wildcat, Killington and Jay Peak) Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Just drove up to Stowe tonight.. The corn horn calleth... I have a feeling its going to take till 10-11am, but its going to be good today. Perry Merrill and Gondolier (take Rim Rock) will corn up first, along with Sunrise/Standard route and Hayride. The Front Four will be later, along with Nosedive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N. OF PIKE Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 What an amazing day at Cannon Mountain Yesterday. 22" new last week and first warm day under sun made things special. 2 for 74$ tix, just find a single in the line and take advantage. 80 trails , great coverage. The lift to summit blacks was most relaxing sun drenched chair i can recall. Ski'd the whole damn mtn and Many others had same idea this Sunday The atmosphere @cannon is extremely inviting, just great natured friendly people everywhere. I have heard its a friendly crowd and no question the gorgeous day didn't hurt that aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Today looks like another winner. Already beautiful out there. Suns coming up and 40F...snow firmed up from bottom up, so it'll be another corn harvest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Wachusett still hinting at opening next weekend (18-19) depending on snow conditions I'm guessing they are really just looking at the $$$ cost benefit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 What a day...already 50F at 4000ft. 2-7 feet of snow on the ground, not counting snowmaking areas. Snow beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 This weekend was great...Bolton Valley had wind hold except lower lift on Saturday utnil midday...but yesterday was amazing. I wish I could have skied today up in the Whites, but oh well, I got a lot of days in this year compared to my recent average. It was a great late season this year. Went 8 days from Feb 18th onward.
