Popular Post mbike-ski Posted February 14, 2025 Popular Post Report Posted February 14, 2025 MrsSnoBunSki and I set sail for Jay in the cold, rain and snow early Thursday morning, becoming all snow right around Albany. Friday morning we woke up to howling winds and boot deep snow. The wind would keep all the upper mountain lifts closed, so we lapped the the fractional Moons and Bushwacker before taking an early lunch. It was a ton of fun and the low angle trees would provide a good warmup for Saturday. After lunch we had the great idea to make the drive to check out Bolton Valley only to find that Indy redemptions are limited to one a day. Implementing Plan C we slummed it with a few beers at the Alchemist. A few more inches overnight and diminished winds gave the green light for Saturday morning, finding everything from a few inches on corduroy to knee deep snow all over the mountain. Lines moved quickly except for the tram (which we skipped - again!) It was hard to contain my powder frenzy but I did so enough to get my fill of trees and get MrSnoBunSki in and out of her comfort zone. My best day at Jay with no wind (’cept on the Flyer lol), deep blower, sun and snow showers. Dumping again when we left for home Sunday morning, we made a stop at Berkshire East which had gotten around 6" or so. More great snow but the lines were a little long so we only got 6-7 runs in before heading south to watch the Birds annihilate the Chiefs -GO BIRDS!!! 9 1
trackbiker Posted February 14, 2025 Report Posted February 14, 2025 (edited) Nice report. Skied Berkshire East last Saturday. Conditions were great all over the mountain. The only line was at the HSQ. The quad with the carpet loader next to it is actually faster if there's a line at the HSQ. That and the Exhibition Quad were ski-on.

Exhibition was down so we alternated between the HSQ and fixed grip lookers left

Balmy 6 below lol. Actually felt warmer than Jays +5 today with a breeze here and there. Mellow day with squeaky snow, lapped bonaventure most of the day, only one run off the freezer err flyer. Did some soft bumps and low angle trees but skis just weren’t coming around fast enough today to do much more than that Edited January 31 by mbike-ski 7
