348 is the number they are reporting here and that’s pretty much dead on average. Probably scrape together another 15-20 to get to the 360-370 average. Started extremely poorly, but it’s been a hell of a ride the last 6 weeks. .
Absolutely perfect spring day..bright sun, 50 degrees, full coverage and soft snow. Should be 30 and snowing by midnight and low 20s tmrw, but this was fun. .
Still holding onto snow, but barely. About 3”. The pack for what will be April 1 is unbelievable. With the torch tmrw and nothing spectacular in the future, I’m guessing tonight will be the high point til next season. .
Really good out there today…One of the bigger turnarounds this season. I ducked into the woods a couple times yesterday and was quickly reminded why it was a dumb idea. Today, it was back to deep packed powder. .
I just got the “don’t bother fixing these” at the repair shop so it’s time..demo’d stockli storm rider 88s and liked them..head kore were good too…currently in volkls and want something different…thoughts??! like the rip sticks too. Glade and steeps skier. .
For the experts, where’s the warm layer up here that’s causing the rain? 534 thickness overhead and spitting out rain? Nam is colder and I’m assuming at 1900’ we stay mostly snow this weekend, but never hurts to learn. .
Backyard pack at 1900’ is still just shy of my 4’ deck railing. Should lose some weds/Thurs, but net gain after this weekend. Jay will go weekends only for May, but man, they could make almost june this year.
Base building well into early April. The locals will be in heaven when you close that third week of April. It’s going to take a lot of torches to melt that out. Looking forward to jet laps in May.
Those 12z runs certainly provide some hope. Been going back and forth between wash outs and powder last 3 days. Trends are encouraging, but I’m not sold yet. .
Pounding snow right now and even the globals have it really going strong through tmrw as this pulls away. Hard to believe how we are finishing the season after how it started. Might see another 10 on the stake tomorrow. We just need to dodge any big rains for the next couple weeks. .
For purna and westway to be open, you know it was a crazy storm in the Catskills. First time in about 3 seasons. Way over-performer at jay too..15-20 and snowing on and off til the weekend. .
F’n Stowe..the only place tempting me to go back to epic from ikon. I miss that place and it’s close when jay has wind issues. Otherwise, I’ve preferred windam over Hunter and Stratton over Mt.snow for when I’m in jersey. And the sun valley experience was top notch. Only good thing is I can always epic day pass a couple days reasonably if I stick with ikon. .
