Womp. Looks like the southern resorts are gonna lose some snow in the next few hours. Maybe a sweet refresh for the northern resorts??

yea?

i just found out i got the insurance on the trip so i CAN back out if i want to. But it is the last chance i got to ski this year. Maybe i should just go and make the best of it.

i only get to VT like twice a year, id be so upset if i cant ski the glades thats what i go there for.


i guess warm and rain isnt as bad as wind and ice. thanks man

Rain sucks cause it melts the snow, but skiing in the rain is dope bc there's no lift lines and the park is empty :)

rain is fun to hit jumps in because the landings are nice and soft and there are no gapers/ snowboarders sitting in the landing because they all stay inside when it rains.  rails suck though because the rain makes them sticky

Killy did not suck yesterday. 4-5" of new snow. Bear was crud skiing at its finest over on Devils Fiddle. Totally edgable and rippable. K1 side was lighter snow and some good tree skiing. Ice layer underneath, but again, totally rippable.

Anyone who bailed on the weekend missed out on a solid day on Sunday.

^^^ yea man! sat was ok but sunday was real nice.

Most the glades were still roped off but once u ducked under them the glades were very fun, kinda sketchy on some double black glades because of the ice underneath the fresh snow but still fun.

a lot less crowded sunday too, what a day!
