Glorious day! Tickled 70 off a low of 32. Light jacket this am to shorts and a tshirt by afternoon. Another few weeks of skiing left then heading to Tennessee for April break. It’s summer after that and I’m checked out on weather until Thanksgiving.

Kicked off spring touring season today with an after work skin. Glorious day! Snow was pretty sweet! I was a little lazy on the spring touring last season due to an epic stretch of good skiing up north. I have a feeling I may need to get after it a little harder this year.

GFS likes up north more. Honestly that is where it should be snowing in late March anyway.

Nice couple days skiing locally in Vermont. Mount Snow Friday skied great. Woods still had decent coverage and the bumps were excellent. Magic was fantastic yesterday most everything was open minus the really steep stuff. Perfect corn! Got a little sticky in the afternoon on the exposed trails woods remained perfect with a little bit of shade. Magic overall is steeper and lower elevation than Mount Snow so was noticeably more skied off. Place is usually a great time when they have the snow, such fun unique terrain on par with Stowe/Smuggs/MRG. Just wish they got more snow!

Mud season gets pretty bad out here. Lots of dirt roads, driveways and parking lots.

50 with sprinkles. Skiing is just about done here. Those snow maps make me want to chase!

Pope Debbie! GFS close to saving the ski resorts next weekend! Could be possible given climo up north. Euro is dry not a surprise.

No snow here. We had a little bit of fun here this winter time to move on . Bike is ready.

Nice turns at Bousquet today after work. About as fun as manmade snow can get! Snow is going quick though and they don’t have many days left from what I’ve heard. Not sure if I will make 100 days this season. I said the same thing last year and made it thanks to a couple late season storms. May not have such luck this year!

Still pretty windy out here. But calmer than early this am.

I’m supposed to head to saddleback next weekend but I’m really on the fence. Certainly plenty of snow but I’m concerned about it being all locked up. GFS struggles to get out the 20s in NW Maine late week. Am I better to pivot to NVT where it looks like some recovery snow is possible?

Pack gonna glacier up again tonight! Hopefully middle of next week can take it down.

Still decent snowpack here in town. Looks like March. 40 and misty.

Not that bad though. Could be a lot worse. Definitely gonna be a bit nasty next weekend from a ski conditions standpoint.

Not sure all this snowpack loss talk… I don’t even remember that many winters when I was younger we had endless March snowpack down here. Sun is strong average high around 40. Some people just like to point the obvious I guess. Unless we get big snow in March ala 2013/2017/2018/2023 we never hold pack much past March 1st anyway. Up the road above 1500’ is another story.
