Take a run with us during closing weekend at Stowe! There's a tiny bit of snow left up on the hill, but at this point most of us have broken out the mountain bikes. Overall, pretty happy with how this season turned out considering we got about half of our average snowfall. Keep your fingers crossed for more snow next season!
^ right on guys, way to make lemonade!

the winter that never really came, is never leaving now. We easily got 3 inches of snow last night.
^ I heard about snow in our region on the evening news and had wondered how the mountains made out.

From the Go Stowe Facebook page. 5/16/16 goes in the books as a powder day at Stowe!
Mont St Saveur may be open this weekend in the Laurentains. Grey Rocks used to be open on our Victoria Day long weekend. Ski and golf in one day.
Pow day at Killington too.
Killington Weekend Report 5/20-22
Arrived slope side early Friday morning and left the mountain in the r*in that held off until the last hour on Sunday Afternoon. Squeezed the most fun possible out of an excellent spring weekend. Lots of new friends to meet and old ones ones to chill with. Tons of soft spring corn to spray around. Shrimp wrapped in bacon and perfect rare tuna steaks on the barbie highlighted the food scene. Amazing selection of mico brews with Hatterade a vodka based cocktail created by the Mad hatter a big hit. Huge moguls were reaching Mini Cooper size. Snow let you know when you legs were shot and needed a break. Four days of rest before the lifts fire off again for what my be the final weekend.
Spring Corn Grade A

Killington Weekend Report 5/27-29
Warm summertime air rolled in for the final spring meltdown. Large bear crossed under the Superstar chair half hour before opening bell on Friday. Lined up two by two in the hay to walk on the lift carrying our equipment that went on your lap. Full soft carpet of groomed snow with top to bottom skiing both Friday and Saturday for a few early hour laps. Several weak spots turned to smud and snirt before noontime on both days. Headwall landing strip melted into a rocky road with the marshmallow being totally consumed. Shorts, skirts, kilts and all sorts of summertime wear was the correct attire. Face plants in the mud were rewarded with cheers from the lift. Lots of scrapes and bruises to go around with every run getting progressively more difficult. Season closed out with Free Skiing on Sunday. Last chair toast and party on Skye Peak was cut short as thunder and lighting moved in. Racing down Superstar with lighting over head let us know that the season was done.

You'llbe able to pretty much ignore it as it starts below southface lift. There are no trails of note at all. Basically odd green trails.Swell, now they want to turn South Face into another Jackson Gore...

It's not the development itself, it's the people they will bring in.
