Agree on the Irish pub....usually stop there on the way up to Access Road.
. Coverage is very good right now. the soft snow that piled up over the last 2 days is on the thick pasty side and covers up some of the rocks and sticks pretty well on the steeps.
There was a low cloud deck and light snow all day. Snowmaking was in progress over on downspout which pushed people on to Cascade which got someone scratched up as the day went on. I spent some time at Snowden due to the better Vis and the snow was good over there . Played in the trees and on conclusion, which was great.
I heard the finished portion The base Lodge is opening this Saturday.
you also may want to check out killingtonzone since there's daily commentary on conditions
Sugarbush was amazing yesterday. It snowed from Sunday afternoon all the way through Monday afternoon. I’m not sure what was reported, but I saw about 6 inches of fresh on the Mt Ellen side, and the mountain was empty. There are still rocks hiding underneath any of the off piste stuff, but it was a great day.
I will be there Saturday.....thanks for the update.
Returned back to the Greens Sunday after Mid season warm weather vacation. Half foot of dense snow has done wonders to fix the mountain. Good snowmaking temps for now. This shot from yesterday on Lower Great Bear.
Very enjoyable days Sunday and Monday at Killington. Looking forward to a skinnup Pico Thursday and as much skiing as I can get in this weekend.
I’m still exploring the mountain but I had a blast in the woods on Ramshead and doing fast laps on Snowden.

Killington Motel is GREAT! 1mile to the access road. CLEAN Big rooms, hot water heat, big bathrooms, Breakfast included with Fresh roasted beans for the coffee! Call for lowest rates! https://killingtonmotel.com/rates/
Still working out the deets, but will likely be at Sugarbush on Saturday and Killington on Sunday. Pics above look appetizing and good snowmaking weather also.

Says the castlerock lift is now up and running and all trails are open. We're thinking of heading to Killington since we haven't spent much time there though Sugarbush conditions sound good.

I had a nice morning at Stowe with the kid. Started with a lap down a perfectly groomed Lifeline. Was hoping to get some powder laps at the Gondi and Sensation which were iced over yesterday and never ran. Well, they were really iced up and still haven't run. Might not run until tomorrow. So we want to plan B and skied Rimrock from the Quad then hiked up Cliff Trail and from there skied out to the Bench and got first tracks down Angel Food. Went to Spruce for some breakfast, then up Sunny and skied first tracks down the Buttcrack (could use more snow). After that, up the Quad again and skied the Bruce. First tracks again! Pretty sweet morning. Hopefully there will be lots of good skiing left tomorrow when Sensation and the Gondi finally run. If not, the groomers looked stellar today and will only be better tomorrow.

Well, one of them triple posted, so I'm guessing you mean 2nd to last picture. That is Angel Food - which is not on the map.
@Erik Timmerman , is Bruce trail filled in all the way down? Was thinking of taking a cruise down this weekend... Looks like an awesome day!
Even after hiking up Cliff Trail, I'd think you'd still have your work cut out for you to reach Angel Food. That's some dedication. Nicely done.

Bruce was in great shape. No ditches or anything. The bottom is a little rugged if you are trying to go fast. You just go faster and start doubling stuff and then it smooths out.
Great pictures! Cherish that time, they grow up quick. Btw, you both clearly know a good ski when you see it, not that you’ve influenced her or anything. lol
Watched a guy skinning up Pike this afternoon. Looked like a ton of work. Any chance that was you?
Nope, but me and my buddy dawn patrolled this morning and had a lovely climb up C-Slope and Sunset Schuss and the woods there. Skiied down Birch Glades on some hard choppy snow and then fresh corduroy on Pike.

My buddy John and his pup:
I had a random Pugski encounter this morning at Wachusett. I was riding the lift chatting with my chair mates and @Steve noticed the Pugski sticker on my skis (which I bought from @Philpug in the BST). We had a nice chat about our respective skis. Unfortunately I need to get back to work soon so I don't know if I am going to be able to catch him there on another weekday morning.
