Sugarloaf1989 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Definitely the best day of the year for me here at Berkshire East. Tons of soft snow and very little ice. Most trails I had to myself for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#NoPoles Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Jeremy Davis, the author of The Lost Ski Resorts of New England is going to be at Tenney on Sunday. We went to Lyndon State together. He invited me to join him Sunday. I'm thinking about heading up. Anyone think they might be able to get to Tenney on Sunday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything ungroomed on the Main Face is unskiable due to flatness. North Face pretty good with pow bumps but lots of terrible skiers. Groomers are buttery though. Interesting. Yesterday the quality of skiing at the North Face was insanely high. It seemed 80% of the skiers had perfect powder and zipper-line mogul technique.

snowgeek Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Where should I go tomorrow? Mt. Snow, Bromley, Stratton or Magic? I can get discounted tickets to Mt. Snow, Bromley and Stratton. Magic stopped selling tickets today to limit lift lines to 30 minutes! Where do you think line will be shortest? I figured Sunday lines are bound to be shorter than Saturday? Any advice is much appreciated! I'm also probably skiing solo if anyone wants to meet up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there not shorter then today I’ll loose it. 1 hour gondola lines at Stratton. I would avoid magic, the powder is kicked so it will not be in top form. Stratton has some of the best grooming in the industry so I would always recommend it. Today was just a zoo and mogul fest. After two days of being packed down, after being groomed it should be amazing tomorrow morning!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everywhere in southern Vermont had record crowds today. I just found out Stratton broke theirs. Record snow will do that! Best bet is to get on it super early then take an early lunch and get back out when everyone else does. Sunday afternoons are usually pretty empty, but who knows tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowgeek Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Skied Bromley today. What a great medium sized mountain. Conditions were fabulous!. Nice variety of groomed and ungroomed. Nice bumps, nice glades. Longest lift line was 3 minutes!! Very friendly and respectful crowd. Very family oriented. And I got there in 1 hour 20 minutes. Can't beat that!

Angus Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 4th straight day of nordic at Great Brook in Carlisle. Things were very soft and getting thin when I left about 2ish. They will be fine probably until their closing date (20th) if this storm happens. The crew that works at the touring center went above and beyond clearing the trails post-storm - large limbs & branches littered any trail with a tree canopy. Got myself a wildcat $17 ticket for Friday St. Patty's - should be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted I was taking it pretty easy. Surfaces were stellar, woods quite good, 10+" of winter snow. Base depths remain kind of meh, so no need to push it. All in all excellent skiing.

I'm sorry if my post jolted you in such a way that you needed to respond with the F word. I think my comment was innocuous. It snowed. Dry powder snow. They went over it with a groomer and it skied really nicely the following day. I believe the industry term is MGPP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not well known, but if folks want a downhome place with world class tree skiing and cheap tix it's an easy and pretty drive from Spokane. It's a dream home mt. Red has some real steeps. Over 90% of the mtn was ungroomed and covered in powder and cut powder. Took the cat to Kirkup twice. Special place. Schweitzer was super good too. Lightest snow of the 3, fast lifts. Ridgeline offers a slew of options, boundaries in play. The 3 are all buried... Other than maybe Whitefish I don't know that anyone has more base in the conus right now. Easy loop to pull off from Spokane and tix are not as expensive as some places. \ Those studs look familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professional Lurker Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Nice pics guys. Pissed that I blew my knee out on saturday, possibly done for the season. Resting it up so maybe I can get a few runs in early at mt snow on Friday before it gets chopped up.We'll see how it goes...Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
