Vermont over Easter?

[newboots]

@Abbi - I’ve called it K-mart and K-ton. I thought I would change it up after I heard Mr. Blizzard call it Killy and realized I had heard it before from some other old ones!

Tremblant is still fully covered and excellent. Skied yesterday and saw not a single bare spot. Very few people either so it was a fabulous day! It was so lovely to be able to ski top to bottom without encountering anyone except my own little group. It's not often any more that it feels like our private mountain. I expect over Easter it will be much more crowded but it turns out I can't ski then anyway as my daughter has invited us for the weekend.

@Jilly, are you planning to be there Saturday? Think I'll be there.

 

[Peaheartsmama]

Hmmm. Am leaning more and more towards Tremblant!

 

[Jilly]

I'll be up the next 3 weekends.

Smugglers Notch has extended its season til 4/21. Well, sort of. After April 14th, lift operations will pause midweek from April 15th -19th and reopen for Easter Weekend.

Will anything likely be open mid-week after just after Easter? I'll be up in the NH/ VT area that Monday and Tuesday.

I think Sugarbush has a good chance of being open mid-week, but definitely check before you go!

I was at Sugarbush Friday and Jay for the weekend. At this time both are planning to be open midweek thru 4/26. Both still had good coerage with the only brown spots on natural snow trails,particularly runs with high sun exposure. There was sill snow in the woods.

Thanks for starting this thread, I was about to post a similar question! I’m hoping that even with limited terrain, Killington will still have trails open other than Superstar? Does anyone have any idea if that would be likely?

Any idea if any place (New England) might still be open weekdays after Easter?

Killington will be closed Monday-Thursday starting May 6.

Argh. Rain in the forecast for Tremblant this weekend and I have 45 mins to decide whether to cancel my hotel or not....

Rain in Stowe too. Bummer!

 

[Peaheartsmama]

Yeah... reports say there is a bit of storm coming in but the detailed forecast says there will be dry periods... I’m debating whether it’s worth driving up for slushy conditions. In any case I cancelled my hotel for now and will just rebook if it starts to look better in the next few days as the forecast becomes more accurate.

 

[Jilly]

Good plan!!

Sugarloaf is open daily through May 5. East side lifts have now shut for the season, but terrain in that region is accessible via other lifts.

I wouldn't pay money to ski at Killington anymore this season unless you want to lap Superstar all day. It was horrendous yesterday. Dirty granular thinly dispersed over ice. It was the loudest ski day I've ever experienced, just high-decibel scraping all day long. We pretty quickly just started laughing at the absolute shite conditions. To be fair, we had near-biblical levels of rain on Monday and that must have wreaked irreparable havoc with the snow.

 

[diymom]

Hmmm, starting to rethink packing my gear up. I already told DH I would join him when he gives a talk at Dartmouth, but unless the forecast changes I might be looking for something else to do during the day. I have Ikon, so I've been keeping an eye on both Killington and Sugarbush. Would it be worth it to go further north to Jay? Any other late season stragglers thinking of skiing anywhere on Tuesday?

That's just nasty! At least you got a laugh out of it. Is the bike tuned up and ready to go?

WOW!! I was considering driving up tomorrow, I have days left on Ikon, but yuck. I just want soft bumps! Maybe better to wait a bit and just stick with a couple of sunny Superstar days? I’d rather go when other divas might be around so if it sucks we can just drink on the deck! Lol

Bike is always ready! I've been sneaking down to western Mass. to find dry trails. Ready for bike season!

Ick!

Meanwhile, at Chez Tvan, the boat is in the water... picked up from the marina last night.
