Felt like the right time to get out to Dutch Hill yesterday. I had been chomping at the bit to ski there; the zone has been closed for over a year by the NFS. It certainly didn’t disappoint. Snow was decent once you rolled off the ridge line, bottomless in most places. Almost wish I had my wider setup, but I managed no problem. It really is one the best places to tour near my house when conditions are right. Crowds are always minimal and people are very friendly. Met several first time uphillers yesterday in fact. .

Great day out at the local hill. Best skiing in several years. Snow was dense enough to cover a lot of the rocks. Cliffs were dropped, lots of trees were skied, and fun was had! Did get really busy but the stashes stayed stashed for the most part as they say. .

LOL! I sound like an old man. It was just different back then. We still had snow days but cold days really weren't a thing.

Now they delay or close schools for negative temps. I think it was 1994 I remember waiting for the bus with temps in the -20ish range for almost a week. I remember even inside the building it felt cold.

We have about 6” here in Shelburne Falls. .

Canadian has it.

That’s a great setup. Can’t go wrong with Atomic. Quality built and they ski really well. Enjoy! .

Mount Snow was pretty darn good today. Plenty of snow up on the hill. Patrol dropped some ropes. Only one picture for us, way too cold and too much fun for pictures. .

Nice opening weekend at Berkshire East. Not a lot of terrain but it was fun to be out. Hope they get some more open for Friday.

Looks like SVT is getting it pretty good right now. Nothing but virga here in our little valley. .

Great way to start off the lift serve season at Stowe yesterday! Upper Starr into untouched woods first run of season! Glorious! .

Deep winter feel out here in the Berkshires!

Very jealous of people getting laps up north! Father had a stroke so I’ve been helping out with property management and financial affairs. Hope I can skin or even just ride lifts soon! .

Very snowy here in Lanesborough. I'll try to snap a pic at some point soon.
