My hubby and I skied Killington today. We had a great time but not because Killington was making it easy. We wanted to ski the glades on Rams Head. They were open but the lift was not. Lots of other trails were open with no lift service. So the well traveled trails connecting one place to another became dust on crust. I don't know how they can do that while fresh powder was falling. Lets hope the new management takes a page from Okemo's trail grooming book.
We did comment to ourselves today that we had more snow at Easter than we did for Christmas this year. "I 'm dreaming of a white Easter...."

Today we had family plans with my husband's cousins. Ann commented the same thing....."Do you realize we had 60F and sunshine on Christmas day and Snow storms for Easter?"
What a peculiar season this has been.
How much more snow do you expect in VT?
Merry Easter Diva's. Yes I skied all 3 days of a holiday weekend. And if you want to see the snow we had at Tremblant, see www.tremblant-insider.com and click on chat and find today's video report. I fact look at all 3 days. 2 powder days and 1 groomer. It snowed all weekend. They have so much snow I'm heading back up for the last weekend. I have to be in Toronto April15th, so it will be a long trip home!

I skied yesterday (Saturday) which was the closing day :(
The ironic part is that it snowed last night and would have been great today. It really was not that great of a snow year in Southern Idaho...maybe next year!

Yep, we mountain biked yesterday morning (on my sweet new pink singlespeed), and skied in the afternoon.
The skiing was surprisingly good. NO ONE was there, and it had snowed 3" overnight on top of the slush. We went to Snowbird and hiked back to Baldy shoulder to cross back to Alta and had a blank slate to get some fresh tracks in. Really amazing for an afternoon!

Easter was splendid
I spent the Easter weekend at Sunday River, Maine. They had gotten about 2 feet of soft powdery snow mid-week, and the temps remained cold - the snow was excellent. The top of the mountain, especially, was soft soft soft, and the glades had powder stashes. By Sunday it was getting a little scraped in places, but almost no one was there so the slopes held up well.
I believe the weather hasn't warmed there yet, and they may get more snow this week, so keep an eye on it, you Easterners.
My season's over, I'll be out of town the next two weekends. But this year I hit an all-time record of 31 days on the slopes. And that, on a crappy snow year in New England. Certainly was a wonderful ending to the season.

Heh. About 2 weeks ago, I went to spin class on saturday morning, and was thinking of our weekend plan - quite typical for me in spring - that we were going skiing that afternoon, and on Sunday we were going mountain biking in the morning and skiing in the afternoon.
The rest of the people in the class (and the instructor) were commisserating that spin class was the only "fun" time they'd have all weekend. I was kind of looking around the room, puzzled. It's 8am on Saturday... what are you people talking about? All this talk of no time for anything but housecleaning, shopping, etc... We went around the room talking about what we were going to do for the rest of the day and we got to me and I said "I'm going skiing". Stunned looks. "How can you ski after spin class? Won't you be too tired?" "How do you have time to go skiing?" Um. I didn't even tell them the plan was to ski AND bike on Sunday as well. I think I would have gotten my butt kicked by an angry mob.
But yes. Apparently it's more a matter of un-growing up. ;) (Though I do manage to hold down two jobs and own a house and a dog, etc. )
