In PA, we got about 3 inches of snow, followed by freezing rain, and it's quickly melting in the already-41 degree weather and rain. I really hope the higher elevations fared better.I'm jealous of you guys having nice cold conditions.
Air temp or wind chill? At least if it’s not windy and the sun is out it feels much better.
Air temp. God knows what the wind chill is.
Was it groomed or ungroomed? I love that darn trail, but it's usually either really good or really bad without much middle ground. lolalthough sadly Vortex was a bit, uh, firm.
Vortex had the wide groomed strip and that is where it was slick - on lower I got over on skiers left in the softer stuff and that was nice. On upper, skiers left bumps are getting large and awfully close to the trees, so little margin for error there. The couple I was skiing with are more groomer skiers and ski faster than me as it is, so I didn't dilly dally in bumps too much today!Was it groomed or ungroomed?

-10°F here this morning. Going out to ski, but I think I'm going to wait a little bit.
Did you end up skiing today? I keep thinking I’ll do Friday night lights at Cochran’s again, but both last Friday and today were so cold. Today Cochran’s actually canceled Friday night lights due to the forecast.Checking in from due north of the Mad River Valley! -8 and clear here, but no wind. Walked the dog and it was almost pleasant. If nothing unexpected comes up at work, I’m thinking I’ll duck out for a long lunch break once the mercury hits above 0.
Yup! 2 runs at MRG and my toes were freezing. The rest of me was toasty warm though - no wind, so it was really not that cold! Balaclava, single base layer, mid layer and insulated jacket and pants did me just fine.Did you end up skiing today?
