Fozz Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Well, I’ve made it to Vermont late last night. Some roads were still snow covered, but there was hardly anyone driving, so I just had to slow down a bit on some stretches. Slept in, so I’m now in Montpelier, and once I’m done with breakfast, I’m headed to Stowe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice pics below. I live in Barre and work in Montpelier at the Attorney General’s office. Montpelier is a neat town. A couple of good restaurants. Pretty much shuts down after 5:00 and on weekends when all of us state employees go home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it’s a really nice little town, exactly how I imagined Vermont to be. Great trip so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amarshall Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 First weekend at Sugarloaf. Absolutely in love. Everyone there is super nice and for the most part excellent skiers. Extremely cold Sunday but no wind. Excellent conditions. Felt like I was chasing the snow up but heard Sunday River had more. Took me 7 hours to get there from Boston on Friday with one stop to pick someone up in Portland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bch2014 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Just booked a last minute impulse trip to Montana for Presidents’ Day weekend. Flying into Missoula, going to ski three days. Probably one at Montana SnowBowl and two at Lost Trail. Lost Trail tickets are $49/day for 325” of snow per year and 1000 acres. Snow Bowl is $52/day for 300” and 900 acres. Can’t beat it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I had another great day at Stowe today (well, maybe technically yesterday since it's midnight). It snowed all day and there was some good fresh powder on many trails. This hasn’t been a very good season, but these past 3 days at Stowe were amazing. I couldn’t have picked a better time to go up there. Smugglers from Spruce peak was my last run of the day. This was from up top the Four Runner quad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewbeer Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Skied Killington yesterday, it was in prime shape, with nearly everything open. Snow surface was excellent, and plenty of non-groomed options available. Visibility was a challenge with freezing mist most of the day, but the skiing was great !

Sugarloaf1989 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Nice day today at Mount Snow with packed powder and machine groomed. Comfortable temperatures in the upper 20's and lower 30's.

radarman Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Only like 2-3 new at Magic but after some human groomin to bust up a crusty layer with soft snow underneath, the sun started poking out and it got really good. Some of the steepest lines on the hill are open and skiing great, the top of Magician, Black Line, Goniff. Powder turns on the edges sheltered from the -dz, packed powder elsewhere. 20k vert for $29 throwback thursday, can't beat that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edges like a steak knife. Tuned it up as best I could a few weeks back while I was staying at grandpa grunts though. Would love to get to magic on a deep day that has a reliable base underneath it. Here's a clip there from last march, about 8-11" of dust on crust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCWarrior Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Judged the IFSA comp at mighty Whaleback today. Kids slayed it on Blowhole. I managed a few runs at the end of the day. Coverage was a little scary but there were some fun turns to be had. Sip of Sunshine on tap too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Skied Crotched yesterday PM into the evening with my 9-yo nephew from DC. Talking to folks on the lifts, lots of NYers doing the Crotched, Sunapee, Mt. Snow loop over the 3-day weekend with their "Vail" pass. Thank goodness for snowmaking. Crotched doesn't have the most character but the snow product is consistent and it's a real nice asset in the local community. Noticed the nordic races went off in Dublin NH - just southwest of Crotched - yesterday with enough natural coverage. Only 3 days of alpine this season but all have over-delivered based upon expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
