Raining again here. Seems endless. Everything is damp and gross. No sun, vampires are probably thrilled.

Great couple days at Jay Peak and Sugarbush. Rained the whole way north Friday, when I pulled in the lot it stopped. The rest of the day was a nice mix of sun and clouds. Skied in a light sweatshirt. Still plenty of coverage in the woods. Jay Peak Ski patrol even dropped a few ropes for me and the 10 other people who were out on the hill. Natural snow was really nice, manmade was ok. Sugarbush yesterday was super fun first thing in the morning. Sun was out briefly but by 10 the rain drops started falling. Did quite a few laps but the leg was getting a little sore due to my injury a few weeks back. Once the heavy fog rolled in and it started pouring it was time to go. All in all a nice quick but fun trip!

Not terrible here. 68, bright cloudiness, dry. Just did a quick trail ride. Little muddy but not bad.

Nice morning at mount Snow yesterday. Nice powder day close to my house. Toasted my Achilles last run hopefully it’s not a big deal. I can walk with little pain so that’s good. Got a few more ski days lined up after our vacation to Tennessee.

I’ll be up at Mount Snow tomorrow morning. Wish they still had the summit open.

Deep winter up in Savoy.

Pretty snowy up in Savoy this morning.

Watch the GFS verify and I’m swearing up down and sideways cleaning my car off just like I was in April 2016. Time for summer, let’s go!

Very interesting long weekend at Jay Peak. It was fun despite some ups and downs with the weather, lifts and crowds. Friday was perfect blue sky, Saturday crowded but enjoyable powder day, Sunday lower mountain childish fun, Monday spring ski stickiness. Nice deep base, even down towards the bottom. With growing pressure of Spring sports my ski days are numbered. I’m hoping for one last adventure in mid spring for hiking/lifts/biking, see what happens.

Glorious day! Tickled 70 off a low of 32. Light jacket this am to shorts and a tshirt by afternoon. Another few weeks of skiing left then heading to Tennessee for April break. It’s summer after that and I’m checked out on weather until Thanksgiving.

Kicked off spring touring season today with an after work skin. Glorious day! Snow was pretty sweet! I was a little lazy on the spring touring last season due to an epic stretch of good skiing up north. I have a feeling I may need to get after it a little harder this year.

GFS likes up north more. Honestly that is where it should be snowing in late March anyway.

Nice couple days skiing locally in Vermont. Mount Snow Friday skied great. Woods still had decent coverage and the bumps were excellent. Magic was fantastic yesterday most everything was open minus the really steep stuff. Perfect corn! Got a little sticky in the afternoon on the exposed trails woods remained perfect with a little bit of shade. Magic overall is steeper and lower elevation than Mount Snow so was noticeably more skied off. Place is usually a great time when they have the snow, such fun unique terrain on par with Stowe/Smuggs/MRG. Just wish they got more snow!

Mud season gets pretty bad out here. Lots of dirt roads, driveways and parking lots.

50 with sprinkles. Skiing is just about done here. Those snow maps make me want to chase!
