    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Haven't posted in a while. I skied at Gore today with my kids and had an awesome time. Chatti had some good bump lines, super fun. Rumor was also very good with big bumps. I don't think the headwall was open, we entered via hawkeye. We lapped those trails and that is all we really skied, we...

    Killington Conditions

    Great day today. Highline was the run of the day. One big problem was that Superstar was closed—a groomer broke down on the trail. They did manage to fix the groomer and open the quad at 1:35, but ovation and superstar remained closed, although there was a lot of rope ducking.

    Stowe Conditions

    If you are still here, Sunday, it is a full on powder day. Probably a heavy 5 inches so far and dumping. And, no crowds!!!

    Stowe Conditions

    Skied on Friday and it was awesome. Bad news is that Stowe is gonna be hurting unless they get a lucky storm. Friday was probably last call for natural snow trails and woods. There is still snow in the woods in the upper portion of the mountain, but it is disappearing, and with the thaw freeze...

    Not sure if this is the right spot for this, but here goes. Has anyone seen this plan about a new lodge at the ski bowl? https://www.adirondackexplorer.org/stories/north-creek-ski-bowl

    Stowe Conditions

    Great skiing today at Stowe. I think since last Friday the mountain has received around 30 inches, although that just kind of reset the mountain to solid mid winter conditions. There is still some ice out there, but not nearly as much as last week. Almost all terrain was open. Overall the...

    Stowe Conditions

    Great skiing this weekend. To start, a lot of snow left in the trees, although the lowest levels I have seen since being a regular at Stowe. About 9-10 inches on Friday. That said, it was probably the worst day of skiing after a 10 inch storm I have ever had. I had a blast, don’t get me...

    I think you have a good chance of having a nice experience at either place, and I don't know that I would recommend one over the other. You didn't ask, but I will give as much of a side by side as I can. Skiing: Both are great, and probably will have the best conditions available in the eastern...

    Stowe Conditions

    Yeah, probably still pretty good 1st week, although I can comment more on the snow levels after this weekend. For me, Killington is the place to be once April rolls around. Stowe will undoubtably have more natural snow left at that time, but Killington rightfully earns their title of Beast...

    Stowe Conditions

    I think the trees in the upper half of the mountain almost definitely still have good snow levels. The lower half might possibly as well. Last I was there, they had a lot of snow. I am heading up tomorrow (although I probably won't downhill until Friday) so I can give feedback after that. One...

    Stowe Conditions

    Usually (last 4 years) there is still a lot of snow then. Each of these years Stowe could have stayed open into May (at least the trail conditions were good enough), but they have a hard close around the 15th of April. I just found this video of my son from April 2019 (I think it was closing...

    Stowe Conditions

    Amazing day today. It was pretty warm which led to spring skiing—but with an almost completely open mountain. Bumps were soft and the sun made a few appearances. It has snowed on and off, but with the temps dropping tomorrow is going to be brutal.

    Are those guns running on OL? You gotta love the commitment.

    Stowe Conditions

    great skiing Cold Crowded A few trails that are normally groomed are all bumped up (lifeline being the most notable). Multiple trail options of 2000ft vert of bumps-love this mountain. There are lifts with access to amazing skiing with no wait, but the high speed quad and gondola are...
