Justo8484 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Finally getting around to writing this up, you're welcome doug. Ty and I decided it'd be fun to drive up to vt for closing weekend at Stowe. We skipped work on Friday to do a day of touring since I had just gotten my touring set up. After much heckling on tgr, we came to the realization that we'd have to hit up a ski area that had closed for the season. Bolton valley did the trick. The hike quickly lent itself to skinning up. Skinned for about 45 minutes to the peak. We found a cool fire tower which we climbed and decided to have some beer and take in the scenery. Always throw beer in your pack in case you come across a sweet fire tower while climbing a mountain. We found some nicely spaced trees with some gross manky snow, then went back up for another lap. We chilled at the ski patrol shack with some locals for a bit and had a few beers while catching the sunset. It didn't suck. We the. Proceeded to ski down and try not to die. I'll add more later. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Thanks Justo!!!! I've definitely climbed up that fire tower before at Bolton valley and used to earn turns there when it was on the lost ski areas list in the late 90s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justo8484 Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 worth it for the sunset shot.Worth it to rip trees in late April, hit a small cliff, get my first day ever of touring, and so many other reasons. You should probably join next time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride Delaware ? Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Nice report Justo. I left 4/11 to come home for 3 weeks. Went back up and hit it up the 2nd and 3rd of May at the Bush. Good Mid-Late season snow and a super cold winter meant top to bottom turns for the final weekend. Excellent corn. If the Valley House lift wasn't being replaced another weekend on Stein's may have been possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
