Going with a buddy from law school - we had originally planned our Vail trip together. He mostly snowboards these days but we have been friends for 29 years so I let it slide. Hope he brings skis too. 1 Quote

saltyant Posted February 4, 2022 Author Report Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) Lolol 5 miles from the mountain and traffic is at a standstill. If I get one Perder run after a 2 hour lift line wait then it will be totally worth it Edited February 4, 2022 by saltyant 2 Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 4, 2022 Report Posted February 4, 2022 3 hours ago, Ski2Live Live2Ski said: Cancelled my Sat flight to Vail (where it has only snowed a few inches in last 2 weeks and there is none in forecast) and driving to Stowe instead. Unfortunately the friend I am travelling with insists on our driving up Sat instead of tonight, pointing out roads will suck tonight and it will be super crowded and super cold Saturday. Bad decision IMO - and could have forced issue as taking my SUV - but dont want to start trip with him mad. Should be lots of awesome snow still to be had skiing Sun through Wed, with it unlikely to get above freezing the whole time. Have fun and don’t get upset if people say,”you should have been there Friday” wahahahah 1 Quote

I've been hitting up Upper Smugglers on the Spruce side and it's empty over here. Perder on the lower part of the run is deeeeep. I'll head over to the Mansfield side soon, hopefully the crowds start to spread out and I'll find some radical glades 1 Quote

The lift lines haven't been bad at all. In fact I skied so much perder and moguls and glades and more Perder that my legs are completely Toast and I dont think I can go on anymore today. But dang Daniel, it was a fantastic day of skiing at Stowe! Edited February 4, 2022 by saltyant 2 Quote

Just in the glades a few times, I didnt fall at all on any moe gools or perd runs. Ungroomed terrain feels easier on my wider Elan Ripsticks compared to when I rode the RTMs Quote
saltyant Posted February 4, 2022 Author Report Posted February 4, 2022 @GrilledSteezeSandwichI just paid $36 for a small tuna bowl and coke at the Alpine Hall bar in the Spruce area. It was delicious. I'm becoming a big spender, maybe I should have waited for a McDonalds for something on the dollar menu to save a few bucks. Quote
