East Coast Roll Call 10 [ten] SKI or SKI NOT, There Is No Try

**Vt-Freeheel** · 03-22-2017, 05:18 AM

10` and windy as fuck bob. Wind rumbled in at 4:30 interrupting my peaceful sleep, though it did bring approx. 2 ish inches of snow.

Yea, windy
"Super Bravo, Valley House, North Lynx, Gate House, GMX, Summit & Inverness are all on wind hold"

Now down to 8` bob, 2` summit

"All lifts are currently on wind hold. Guests are invited to hike Mt Ellen to the top of GMX and Lincoln Peak to the top of Gate House and Super Bravo from 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM."

Couple of fresh inches on the ground this morning and still coming down. This is a nice unexpected refresher.

Edited to add - if anyone is in the greater Montpelier region tomorrow evening, I'm looking for someone to have a beer with at the Three Penny after work.

Boreas, that's an awesome shot!!! Totally static, yet telling the tale of graceful kinetics.

Will be at the 'bush tomorrow early am. Skiing in resort tomorrow, then depending on conditions, weather, etc. figuring out a plan from there, possibly heading to Jay if seems worth it.

Looking to do a tour in the area Friday morning...anyone have any suggestions on a easily found route for a low-post-count-jong?

What's the deal with Slide Brook terrain? There's some kinda free shuttle it dumps you out to?

Thanks in advance for any [useful] info.

Camels hump used to be good. It's a shame they moved it to Maine.

Got your PM - thanks for reply and info

There is a significant difference in base depth from Warren to the Jay area. After being in Slide Brook last Friday (core shot)and up near Jay Sunday, I'd say it's worth the drive. On north aspects I hear the snow is still nice.

**Moeghoul** · 03-22-2017, 09:40 AM

Smuggs with 6"+ fresh served up some untracked all morning. Nobody got the memo.

Looks like a [windblown] powder day tomorrow.

"Heaven's Gate, North Lynx & Castlerock are closed for the day. Mt Ellen is also closed for the day. All other lifts remain on windhold, except Welcome Mat.

Status update for Wed, Mar 22

2:15 PM"

I laid some trenches around sunset tonight. I saw one other group of 3 and that was it with hardly any tracks on the vista side. It was paradise.

That's the best! I had my 20 month old out on the chariot this weekend as well. We did a super steep pitch and do the soft snow and then skis on the chariot she dumped to one side which caused me to fall.

She smiled and said "daddy fell". Then she said it like 13 times more.

Any locals care to comment on the weekend weather. The snow/ rain forecast for MRG has me worried could it be all snow at elevation?

I already have a room and 2 day passes at Jay.
That sounds fun though.
Wish I could've swing by.
Chilling and grillin is totally my thing!!!
