MarkO Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I'll be honest, I get nervous anytime I'm going over 40, but I'm still stupid enough to occasionally hit 60. I believe the fastest I've recorded was 67 back when the original Droid came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hit WaWa after work for 10 runs. Place was empty yet 100% open. I focused on some of the smaller things that will probably shut down first Each ride on the lift I sat alone. That was cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those look like they could have been taken in January with all the lakes/ponds still frozen solid and decent snow cover on the countryside. I want to get out one more time, but not sure I will be able to. I could maybe the weekend after Easter, but I don't want to go right after a rainstorm...hopefully the NNE mts get some snow that week...then bright sunshine for the weekend...I'll ski hero snow all day.

tdp146 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 So true whiteface was the same way this weekend. Deep winter with powder at the summit, granular corn snow in the middle and just pure sloppy mashed potatoes at the base. I tired to stay up high or middle I hate mashed potatoes. What a sick sick mountain. I was super stoked on it! I love the Adirondacks in General and so did my gf. I would love to have a place up there as the drive from Long Island wasn't bad at all compared to Vermont as it's a straight shot up the thruway. I would have to say it's my favorite mountain now. The views are just insane the vert is ridiculous with cruisers galore for a boring snow boarder like myself. I'll take that over more trials and more upscale amenities any day all day Love the addirondacks as well. It's funny, I've been to the lake placid area a dozen times but only in summer. I've ridden nearly every moutain in Vermont but never get to whiteface in winter. I guess I can never convince friends to skip over VT. I do think Vermont gets more snow though. Btw- if you want to impress your GF- stay at the whiteface lodge- or at least have dinner there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw- if you want to impress your GF- stay at the whiteface lodge- or at least have dinner there. You gotta do whiteface. It's the kind of place you have to take a break mid run because you're legs are burning. And yes Vermont gets more snow as the spine of the greens forces more upslope snow. Whiteface is a stand alone peak which limits upslope. It's also pretty far NW and misses allot of synoptic storms. They were below normal and it was still plenty. 4800' will get plenty of snow every year. They had six inches of powder Friday on the upper mountain and it was banging. The views alone were worth it! We ate at the adirondack steak and seafood company and it was amazing with the adirondack brewery right there in the restaurant. That and a great hotel right on the lake and it was an epic weekend.

I'll take that over more trials and more upscale amenities any day all day You've caught the bug It's a pretty special place when it's on, and it sounds like you got to experience it on one of those days. Missed it a lot this winter after skiing 40 days a season for five years there, the Boyne trio are awesome in their own right but it's a totally different experience. Hurts not renewing my pass for next season but it's just not cost effective to have two and I barely broke even on ORDA this winter so unfortunately all good things must come to an end... Best time of year Dave,bar none Absolutely. Couple of shots from Sunday at Loon, was having too much fun to stop to take photos so unfortunately the quality is suboptimal but what a beautiful spring day.

Jason215 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 My fellow ski/ride buddies and weather enthusiasts, I'm considering a ski trip this weekend. Options are Hunter Mt, Southern VT ski resorts, Gore, Kmart/Pico, Sugarbush, Stowe, Bolton, Smuggs. Leaning towards Pico ($25 tickets if you bring 3 canned goods) I don't want to ski in the rain on Sat am. Are all those areas a safe bet for a nice snow event late tomorrow night into Sat? Who has the best chance at like a 10" powder day on Sat? Any info or educated guesses are greatly appreciated! Thanks, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Still 100% coverage with depth here at Wachusett. But the end is near They are closing Mon thru Thurs and re opening next weekend Soft soft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 One indicator of how much snow is still on much of Wachusett. This is on the road that crosses partway down some of the trails. The stone wall is about two feet high. Granted there is snowmaking snow and plowed stuff, but still good depth Woods are 100% covered albeit not skiable...mostly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason215 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 If the weather cooperates this coming week...I may take advantage of the $19 lift tickets at Bolton Valley next weekend.I know they're practically giving the lift tickets away at this point! Near full coverage (including trees) in April at bargain prices gets me excited. I love a good deal! I've skied legit powder in the trees at Jay Peak years ago about mid April. It was amazing. They had tons of snow andI had a group "private" lesson for $35. Instructor/guide took me to all the secret stashes in the woods. I think they call it "the dip" if my memory serves me correctly. I used to pay for a service by Met Jim Romer called "Best Ski Weather" who would give the inside scoop at least a week in advance. I don't think he posts here. Anyway, let's hope the Spine gets spanked the next few weeks and end the ski season with a bang. -Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Get ready to enjoy all 8-10 trails. If you can deal with that it will very worth while. They do get a ton of snow though... its Green Mountain Spine high elevation west slope snowfall for a cheap price. Base elevation of 2,100ft helps too this time of year. Like I only had 1.5" at the base of Stowe because it was 1,500ft where Bolton is showing 3" at the base because they are over 2000ft. That type of stuff helps this time of year.

powderfreak Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Either way, its hard to believe it was 50-60 degrees yesterday. 7.25" at 3,000ft for a storm total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
