Just got back this evening, sorry no time to post photos, packing for Stowe. Everything was open and I skied it all. Many first tracks in very heavy snow. The chopped up crud was even more demanding but everything was getting pretty packed out and the groomers will take care of it by morning. There was still a few untracked lines in the glades when I left but pretty tracked. East Wall, Ditch, Skyline, Triple, Forever, Laurel all had good cover. Bagged third tracks on Lower Shortway but cratered on the last steeper pitch right above Shortcut. Extrovert was fairly chopped up but I managed to find some smooth on the edges but the hardpack was beginning to show on the downhill sides of the snowmaking mounds.
Plenty of groomed out there today too. Expressway, Jack Rabbit, Mambo and Stem. Lower High Hopes and Deer Run were not groomed today but my guess is they will be tomorrow.
Tomorrow and Sunday should be great. Get out there and support them with a little green. Seven Springs will survive without you and Blue Knob will appreciate your business. Oops, I just realized I forgot to ski Lower 66.
Oh, the only time I hit some rock was when I over rotated a turn on East Wall. That was late morning. All the natural trails were getting traffic but they were in good shape when I skied them. If you stay on the snowmaking you'll be fine but the natural, well get it early and keep a sharp eye.
