East Coast skier gets a big storm!
I skied Killington last year during the April storm that brought the mountain at least 2 feet of . . . it was pretty wet to call it powder, but it's as close as I've come. I kind of got the hang of it (lean back, go fast, whoop and holler), but as it was unfamiliar I couldn't "let go" and stop trying so hard to control the skis the way I'm used to. I fell and fell and fell. Eventually, I found myself on Mouse Run, which had been groomed earlier and had another 6"on that. This, I could handle pretty well. But there were scraped-off spots, where I could hear the beautiful music of my skis on ice. Ahh, I thought. Now I know I'm at home.
