Easter Bunny Brings Snow!

Spring break turned out to be an incredible week of powder skiing. Yet another holiday storm comes through. President's weekend, St. Patty's Day, and now Easter Sunday brought huge snowfalls this year.




We skied a nearby ridgeline with views of Jay


With all the new snow, I got to try out my new BD Verdicts - crazy fun ski!!!


We skied the Easter Sunday storm at Jay. We had the snow and lifts to ourselves. The rest of the week we BC skied a perfect VT spruce/birch glade that we frequent often. I can't believe that it isn't overrun by skiers. We saw 4 others during the course of the week including an ATer, Patrick, who joined us in putting a skin track up to the ridgeline on Monday. The only other signs of life were an out of place robin in a world of white and the tracks from a moose that had been meandering around the area we skied all week.

This is April!?




The skintrack. Better than any ski resort lift.

48 days to date for me and 44 for Kate. With all the new snow last week in the northern mountains of NY, VT, NH and ME, it is going to be a good spring season. Mt. Mansfield's snow stake is recording the deepest snowpack since 1993.
