The vibe was great with powdery slopes, bumps, upslope snow lit up by the lights, the moon visible through the snow and we even saw an owl eating a squirrel under the lift. Just enough people to make it festive but with short lines. Magical night. . Hard to see the owl feasting but pretty cool thing to see while night skiing!!

Skied Jiminy this evening with a couple of freinds. Amazing snow quality. I have never skied soft powdery bumps while night skiing. It was fantastic!!!

1st accumlating 9am. Just cleared board at 3:00pm 6.1" 4.3F S+. Heavan on Earth!!!

My lessons at Jiminy cancelled so I took 10 runs and headed home. About 2" of fresh poweder on top of groomed corduroy. Amazing silky skiing. 8F when I left and dropped to 4F as I headed west into the Hudson Valley. Roads were not good. I hit one spot where a plow that was 2/3 as wide as the road was coming the other way and yikes. Then I hit a steep uphill that I almost couldn't get up. Glad I left when I did. Glad to be home. White knuckle drive. Clearing my snow board at 2:15 (started 8:15) and I think there will be about 4.5". Flakes are medium. Decent snow growth, but could be better.

3.25”. S+. 5F .

I’m heading to Jiminy Peak in a bit. Our morning adaptive ski lessons are on (I’m sn instructor) . Afternoon lessons are canceled. I have to balance powder ski runs with not crashing on the way home. Gonna be tough deciding when to leave! Virga here so far around Albany. 4.8F. .

Awesome, congrats. That’s a nice set up! Git it!! [emoji3555] .

So.......you folks that live near a ski area.......how bad was the damage?

Jiminy's program is part of Stride and we also have a program at Catamount which probably is about an hour from Sundown. I can show them the pics you posted and see if we could offer a similar setup if you want? Unless you already looked into it? LMK.

Thank you! So glad you found something that works for you!!

Wow, that’s awesome! I don’t think we have bi-skis like that at Jiminy? Ours all have parallel skis and the skier uses outrigger poles or attached outriggers. We ski behind them with tethers. Are you tethered when you ski? I’d love to see a video if you have one. I want to show this to our director. I also skied with you at Berkshire East way back in the day at a forum ski get together. So glad you are still going out there! .

What kind of adaptive skiing do you do? I started teaching adaptive skiing at Jiminy Peak last year. It's amazing the variety of options out there to get almost anyone who wants to ski out there!

1st day of the season for me today at Killington. Snow was pretty darn good quality for November. Some nice soft bumps on Snowden. 13K vertical to get those ski legs going!!

I lived in Baltimore from 1969-1985 and then went to Albany for college and never left the area. Cool to hear snow stories from before I arrived. 79 and 83 were the 2 epic storms from my childhood and were my snow weenie seeds. .
