Laurel closed last Sunday with this much base on Wildcat:

Wow... do they allow access when closed? It wouldn't be too bad a hike back up Deer Path and Lower Broadway to lap it. I mean, I probably wouldn't do it , but someone could.

New guy here from PA. If anyone is interested in a slushfest, a Philly ski group I participate in will be at Roundtop on Saturday. Let me know on here and maybe I can put some faces to fake internet names!

May be my last day of the season, may not - we'll see. It was a good year anyways - at least as good as it was going to be given restrictions.

I was thinking about hitting Whitetail on Friday since I haven't been there yet this season (due to PA restrictions) and I think it's their last weekend. But it look like rain might keep me inside... In any case, I was looking at the webcams, and I will say that they ar being pretty aggressive about keeping runs open, on little snow...

The run in the upper left in this pic is Homerun, and is open, according to the website. I'm surprised. In prior years, I think they'd have closed that one.

Looks so much nicer at night.

I was also considering Whitetail this Friday, but the forecast doesn't bode well. Considering Saturday morning, but closing weekend crowd thoughts aren't all that appealing either.

Looks like the rain is going to mostly end overnight, so I'm going to hit Whitetail tomorrow. Anyone else going to be there? @MarkP ?

@dbostedo, I have a reservation. I have a couple of meetings in the morning, but if I can reschedule the 2nd, I should get there around 11am. If I can't free up, I probably won't go tomorrow, but may then break my no local weekend rule.

Give me a ring if you're coming! I plan to be out there by 9.

Got 31 runs in today at Whitetail... many with @MarkP .... rumble strips (frozen groom) in the morning but it softened nicely in the sun. Pics to come...

Probably going to finish the local season this Sunday at Seven Springs then head north to Maine to visit my son and other friends. Both my wife and I are fully vaccinated.

Skiing in Maine?

A few pics from today at Whitetail... it was definitely getting thin out there. But they managed to have all the primary slopes open. You just had to slalom your way through the dirt patches at times...

Skiing in Maine?

Yep, Saddleback and Sugarloaf.

 

[Old boot]

Don't tell anyone, but the snow is still good at Sugar! The base, still feet deep. Skied more than four hours today until it got sticky.

I hate the bus outta the parking lot, Id go Beech Tuesday if your interested!!!

This late you should be able to get a good parking spot at Sugar.. right up near the lodge. They're all cleaning their golf clubs and lubing the chains on their mountain bikes now. Crowds should be gone.

Update: the recent rain washed away about half of the base at Sugar, and the warm temperature melted the rest, until the night before last, when it froze to Carolina Concrete.
Today it seemed I finally wore out the Summit Express! The main lift was out of operation this morning.

I haven't taken the shuttle all season. I walk. My muscles are ready to ski by the time I reach the lift.

 

[SCWVA]

What ski areas will be open after this weekend?
7Springs says they'll be open April 3rd & 4th.
Anyone else?

Carolina Concrete ? Is that anything like Cascade Concrete or Sierra Cement. LOL

The season here is over for me. Kathy and I are heading north to close out our season in Maine.
