Popular Post mbike-ski Posted March 11 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 11 Every year we do a ski weekend for Mrs SnoBunSki’s birthday, so even though she’s still on the IRL for the rest of the season recovering from rotator cuff surgery, we headed North early Friday morning. First stop was a lunch break and a few runs at Magic Mountain. I’m trying to get a little value out of my mostly unused Indy Pass - I think I’m down to around 33 bucks a run lol - and check out the Black Line lift that is finally up and running. My second ride up I spotted the rope drop on Talisman and lapped that a few times, fun corn with a little walk across a grass patch to get back out. It was fuckin’ blue bird! Got back on the road to Lake Bomoseen, a beautiful evening to light a fire to watch the sunset while we waited for the other couple we were skiing with to arrive. Saturday we ski’d Killington, overcast and temps in the low thirties, conditions were rough with sugar piles and ice after the week’s rain. I ski’d tele all day as one of the other skiers was a beginner, it was fun social skiing putting new root combos together and I didnt feel like I was missing much with the conditions. I thought about hitting the Killington-Pico traverse and checked out the entrance, it wasn’t roped but didn’t look inviting either so will save it for another time. Mrs S made the best of her time The forecast had changed from rain/mix to snow and it started coming down hard during apres. Sunday morning woke up to a coating of slush but at Pico they had reported 9”. Got there at opening to 10” or so of thiiiiick snow. Tracked out the lower mountain solo while waiting for the summit lift to spin. The heavy snow was a lot of work, took a quick break followed by a few more down low then got word that the summit lift had opened. The snow was a little better up high, one of my favorite trails anywhere is Summit Glades and lapped that until my legs were cooked. The intermittent wet snow and sleet changed to full on nice snow after lunch. I went back out to do a few more summit runs with our friend but visibility was bad and I had no gas left in the tank so I ski’d right past the summit loading area to call it a day. Ended the trip with a nice dinner pit stop at Rip VanWinkle Brewing. 7 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darn I’ll have to take some sort of poll maybe I should be writing my reports in gray instead of white if that’s what the majority does. Your post is the first gray one I’ve seen in months… I’ll never do dark mode…Changes is a song by David Bowie, not something I do much of… 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momskeeztoo Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 I’m also a slacker at trip reports sometimes. We skied Killington 3/4-3/7. Then skied Okemo 3/8. Conditions were ok, foggy, snow was soft, but not too bad. A lot of closed trails. Didn’t bother with Pico, as another of our friends were there and said it was terrible. I’d never skied Okemo. It was ok, at least the sun was out. It seemed Okemo has a lot of trails that cross each other. They need some tunnels! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
