Hard to tell with all the blowing. A nice dump in any case, though, very fluffy so I expect they'll have blown man-made in/among/on top so as not to lose any. The weather probably scared off a lot of weekend visitors, so the tree areas may still be somewhat untracked. also saw a lift ticket deal: youth pay their age - http://www.mountsnow.com/youth.html Yeah, that one's a steal if you've got kids...of course, adults don't get that deal! I was at Mt Snow for the last 8 days. The snow was so deep they canceled the Masters race at Stratton. In a moment of raging insanity I signed up for Jeep King of The Mountain race, after the first practice when I got launched from the first jump into the second jump and crashed into a heap, my 47 year old body decided to withdraw from the event. I met the Archer brothers on the elevator and they told me the jumps every year keep getting bigger. They were a little surprised that somebody my age would have tried out for it.... No Pain no Gain So I skied at Mt Snow on the Sunday of the storm, I learned a bunch of things about skiing in powder for the first time. One is carving is right out, two it slows you down. It is like driving flat out on a straight road with wings set at full down force. My style of making one ski light and turning on weighted ski is a guaranty for a fall with the light ski tripping the loaded one. All you powder hounds can keep it, I will stay off of it, I prefer groomed or even salted courses which are even better if they have gates on them. michael Thank you for the previous responses, that were sent before I left. |
