Not exactly what I would call "powder," more like dust on crust in a few places plus sticky spots. But in the morning there were good sections to be found. But considering there was hardly any snow at all at the beginning of the week, it's a major improvement already.Great to hear! Enjoy the powder, while the weekend warriors live vicariously through you. :-)
So I just looked up Floskis. When did you get those?I played with my Floskis on the easier trails.
We recently did some night skiing at Bolton Valley filming our latest story. It was a lot harder than I remember. It too was snowing.Not exactly what I would call "powder," more like dust on crust in a few places plus sticky spots. But in the morning there were good sections to be found.

In the afternoon, I played with my Floskis on the easier trails. Took a couple runs under the lights after dark. The skis do well in chopped up snow. But lack of visibility because of snow on goggles and being under lights meant there wasn't too much point to stay out longer.
Bought them over the summer at a pretty good discount. Met the inventor at Mammoth in May. Adrian made me a good deal.So I just looked up Floskis. When did you get those?
Going to be good for MLK Weekend for sure. Looks like snowmaking temps every night this week. Now that Yee Ha is open, that much easier to stay on the upper mountain to avoid the lift lines at the base. I said hello to a few Gold Clinic folks but didn't really spend much time with them since I had Diva visitors.I was so happy to be welcomed home by snow! I'm looking forward to next weekend.
If you go to demo, really does help to be there first thing in the morning. Note that since this is just a demo tent from one ski shop, there may only be 2-3 skis you want to try. But it's a free demo and you can certainly learn something. Can be a good opportunity to try the same model in more than one length.Hmm, I haven’t been able to demo anything this season so far. Maybe I’ll go back to M’nut to see what Freestyle has.
Depending on weather forecast & road conditions, I might take a motel at Harrisonburg the night before for 9am check-in.If you go to demo, really does help to be there first thing in the morning.

It's a good idea. @alison wong has done that. US33 is usually kept in pretty good shape. The roads at Massanutten are cleared by private contractors who do a really good job.Depending on weather forecast & road conditions, I might take a motel at Harrisonburg the night before for 9am check-in.
