Glad your area got 6-7”. My area in southeast PA received ~3 inches. Just enough to convince me to take the rock skis out to a nearby (very) low angle, leaf-filled area yesterday afternoon. It was fun to play for one run (with no damage to the skis) but not enough cover to convince me to take a second run. Switched to the cross-country skis and happily played for the rest of the afternoon. Looks to be below freezing for the next few days so I’m hoping to get the cross-country skis out a couple more times. Snow in my neck of the woods cannot be taken for granted!

Petersburg Pass - 2/1/25

About 15 cars in the parking lot at noon. Good coverage. Maybe 10-12" base. Unfortunately it seemed like the warm air/rain mixing during the last snow event resulted in a thick crusty layer (couple inches thick) that made a difficult ski in the untracked snow. The crust would give way while turning and grab my boot. Hopefully the upcoming warmth this week will consolidate the snowpack into a more stable base for future storms to build on.
