I’m planning Bromley on Friday and Pico on Saturday. If anyone is planning the same, HMU.
Note: Both are closing at days end Sunday. Heading back Saturday evening to avoid as much of the eclipse madness as possible.

I forgot about the eclipse...
I am surprised Shaw's isnt open yet! We were there last fall and it wasn't open, but I had thought maybe it would be by now. Bummer for them.

If needed or interested, we have several 50% discount passes available to okemo. Will probably be around ludlow Thursday night through Sunday afternoon. PM if interested.
Last I heard was June/July reopening for Shaws. Flooding permits and associate improvements have just been approved.

This past weekend was the last for the Skyship and South Ridge. Not sure they’ll have the staffing to run them if they wanted to with this round of snow.
I have two vouchers for Magic that I purchased Black Friday and never got a chance to use. I paid $75 a piece for them, I’ll take $100 for the both of them if anyone is interested. I’ll send you the voucher codes and you can create a profile on their website. You can Venmo my wife’s account. PM me or text 201-705-9301

Having lunch. Morning conditions were terrible. Crusty, hard and frozen snow. High winds and ice pellets drilling you in the face. The mountain is empty so we have that going.
It’s been snowing since 12:30 and doesn’t look like it will stop until late Thursday. Expect at least a foot by 9am tomorrow.
Oh, and there was a @UtahJoe sighting. 😆

I need clarity. You saw him on the ski hill or stuffing his fat face at a restaurant?

The later. 😆
Yes... This.... Morning conditions were quite awful. We headed out around 1.
We came up and skied monday/Tuesday which were great... Really fun spring conditions... Warm, soft snow, it was great. Today was like frozen armor plating.
Good seeing you @a.s.
Most likely that's a wrap on my year... But we'll see... Got in about 25 days this year so no complaints.
I’m planning on Bromley Friday and Pico Saturday if the snow is any good. Is it heavy wet cement ? or decent? Friday is supposed to be wind-free and in the 30’s.

My wife, dogs, and I drive up to Stowe on Saturday to ski Sunday / Monday and check out the eclipse.
Sunday was soft with plenty of snow and blue bird skies. The snow was sticky and a lot or work to maneuver on but very fun. Woods still had ample coverage but I had to change my turning style a little bit to get through.
Not many completely blue ski days at Mt Mansfield.
Monday was another very clear day with even warmer temps. Snow was melting fast and even more sticky. The gondola opened at 12:30 with a big long line for the eclipse traffic. I was up pretty quickly going thru the singles and had a some "fresh" tracks on the upper part.
A coupe of eclipse pics - very rad to experience this on the mountain.
With the cooler temps from the eclipse the snow firmed up a little which made for terrific skiing - the run down was a bunch of fun with our family group of 7.
