Skiing with the kid so limited terrain. All had the same soft snow so all good. Yes, did remember my pants but the tape on my D vent fell off. Time to upgrade from Duct to Gorilla tape.

Per our trip last week, I’d vote Magic. Both had light crowds though.

I had a squirrel run across Razors in Jan 2020 and thought we were both going to die. Heart rate peaked at 134 according to the watch

I missed this thread today and calling a RAW sesh. My bad. On the snow at 430 and skied til 645. Had the spring coat and gloves on for a comfortable evening with the kid doing a lesson. Beer in the lot hoping @mbike-skiand @Dirtwolfstopped by they were getting after it. Good for them. Hope they had as grate of a session as we had!

I’m just in shock it wasn’t a troll post

WTGAI. I hate it too when I get lost and end up at a bar [emoji6] [emoji482]

Also my first mountain out west and I think my 3rd mountain overall. I second the glacier, that was my favorite run with the cave and runout. 7th Heaven was a close second. Have a great trip!

I get the price but it hurts a little this year. $2K on a Tuesday doesn't happen often. The kid isn't free next year (or the $25 it was this year) and I plan on her riding the weekends in some kind of group so she'll need the full pass. Still worth it to see all you uglies.

Skied 6-730 with the fam. Boo forgot her ski pants but she HTFU and rode in her base layer. 38 degrees when we got there so it wasn't the worst. Saw @Dirtwolf's truck in the lot walking out and hoped to grab a post ride beverage with him but he ski-daddled by the time we got back. Light lines and good snow made for a fun night. They closed the six pack around 715 but it was clearing out. Wanted to keep the streak going tomorrow but the rain makes me think they might close early.

Coasters are overrated. Don't use the fire place though or you might get billed for the gas.

Same, that place is fun and we had a great time. Definitely want to check it out with expanded terrain and not on a holiday weekend. Still didn't feel as full as Stowe though.

Later start then I wanted since we had a goodbye breakfast with the wedding crew. Got to Bolton Valley at 930, slight delay from the ticket line but on the lift by 950. Couple squalls yesterday plus wind overnight refreshed everything. Conditions were awesome. Squeaky chalk had us laying over edges with ease. Bolton had a lot of trails still closed from the melt last week but what was open had full coverage. Cobrass was closed so everything lookers right we couldn’t get to and didn’t get over to the Wilderness lift. From what we could see, it wasn’t running. Lines kept get longer after each run but the crowds weren’t Blue bad. Steeper pitches started getting scrapped off and after we did everything open, took off at 1130. Favorite runs were Vista Glades and Enchanted Forrest. Grate way to finish the trip. Stop at a farm for maple syrup in Monkton on the way out. It was an honor system store but was able Venmo the money. Surprised it wasn’t cash only but grabbed some cheese with it and happy we stopped.

Thanks. I got the Quail for dinner, no carrots though.

Woke up to a fresh coating and had no issues getting to the mountain. Parked right by the Forerunner Quad and after a short line, we’re headed up at 835. Snow was grate. Fresh 3 inches at least made everything look better and kept snowing until we left. Less than half of the trails were open so not too many options down. Took 1 Gondy ride and mainly stayed off the FRQ. No lift lines at 1030 had me wondering were everyone was but a guy on the lift said there was a car accident on the access road blocking traffic. Shortly after 11 and the lines showed up. Finished with a couple Mountain Triple laps and headed out at 1145. Wedding is this afternoon so I have to get a shower and put on my drinking shoes. Fun day and felt great to have some fresh snow even if it wasn’t deep. Still nice to have some hit above the boot ❄️

Continuing the Indy adventure with Bolton on Sunday

Skied 10-1230 and only the Mountain Triple is open. Every type of snow was skied. Lines got stupid so we’re at Piecasso for lunch. I messed up and order the calamari before reading farther that they have a Epic charcuterie board. I have a reason to come back now.

Triple opened at 10. Gonna be dust on crust

Yeah the people that went yesterday said lift access was limited, only the double running. Hopefully it’s not too bad because I want to get Boo on her first gondy.

Snowing and word is the mountain has an hour delay. This is grate.

Out. Have a beer for me please

Diner said it open at 6 so we went at 7 and it was closed. Snowden dropped a pot of coffee at the door step via text which was nice. Magic is fantastic. On the hill at 9:05 with thin hero snow. Half groomed and found myself looking for ungroomed. Ton a fun picking through and skiing in grass. BLT add chicken and avocado with a Fiddlehead for lunch. No lines and empty bar. West side just opened so couple more laps in the rain then headed north.

Besides the giant ice sculpture at the top of the quad from a blown water line, seemed like no issue. I know they posted bear with us while we improve shit on Facebook and seemed to have a couple projects going on. Forgot to mention they closed half of the open trails at 430 because they don’t have lights so that also helped our decision to move on.

Took off just before lunch and arrived at Catamount around 3. Hopped on the quad shortly after and stayed on that side. Everything open had good coverage but the only double black open was Lynx. Bunch of kids showed up after school but it was ski right on every time. Tried to grab an appetizer and a beer but they didn’t have a bar open. We didn’t pull the trigger on $14.50 for fingers and fries either so we headed to Londonderry. 2 hour winding drive and quick stop at the motel. First time a place just left our key on the bed and door open. Tried to grab food but most places close at 8 and only had 2 options for places open until 9. Drove to Jake’s and it was closed, tried the place at Seesaw and they had a private event and said no. Grocery store said open until 9 but when we got there they had a sign saying 8 and we had 10 minutes. Doubling all the recommend times for the Hot Pockets and Taquitos because this microwave looks barely a step above an easy bake oven. My favorite part of the day is the Motel rents land in sign hell. 13 signs telling me what I can and can’t do in the room, 7 in the parking lot. It’s pretty impressive and laugh every time I find a new one. There’s even is a sign that says call restaurants to see if they’re open because every place is closed. Skiing Magic tomorrow then headed to Stowe. Stowehof called and downgraded my Mountain View room. Sad. Supposed to give 20% off because of it but they better still have the wedding 10% on top. Might try to get a gift card out of it but I’ll take that to the Stowe thread.

Dumb in skiing but I do enjoy the speaker on the course. I don’t let anyone else hear it except my 20 foot circle though.

Yes. Got some freshies too.
