Titus Conditions

Bluebird day, corn horn is blowing, upper mountain is open. Come get it.
 
Friday, you say?

Like @Mike said. It all skied pretty well.

Then, today, Sunday, March 16 2025. From corn horn to closing bell? All in one long weekend. Saw @Mike from the chair and bellered at him! He was waiting at the bottom and we exchanged a good old NYSB greeting right about lunch time, which was about the end of normal operations. The upper mountain closed for wind. Then a tree fell on the most northerly lift. Karen (since 1992 a ski instructor at Titus) watched as the tree clipped the haul rope, knocking it off the @snoloco "little wheelie dealies" sheaves? Then the tree bounced off her. When she got to the top (incident occurred roughly mid-lift) she realized the tree had knocked off both skis. She was uninjured, and skied down. Made a point to tell my nephew how the safety bar definitely saved her. Rumor has it that may be it for the mountain. The snow was washing away by 3 pm.

Dang boarder--sleeping in the middle of the run!

Harvey's Road seems to have lots of rocks. I didn't go in.

If this is it, it was a good run. Tornado warnings at 6 pm this day just to west in St. Lawrence County. @Mike, PM if you want to uphill this week. Tues. does look good. I might be able...
 
Wow, a tree his chair one! Yikes. The snow is disappearing, like March in 2012. Yes, Titus had a good run this year, and did a terrific job. They blew a lot of snow to get the year going, and the grooming, right up to the last day was superb. It's such a fun place.
 
@Mike is gadding about, skiing actual open areas, with lifts! But he asked for a report. Here is what the boot pack up looked like about 10 am April 17, 2025. This is a natural snow trail (Riverview), this fell overnight (and melted during the day). There was at least a couple of inches below 2000 ft and more above.

I think my first run down from the summit might have been the best of the year. The snow was really nice and powdery with a discontinuous 12 inch base of machine-made snow. I tried to ski the lower 300 ft without a break and nearly crashed from fatigue. Thankfully, the big water bar near the bottom of Sundance was rotted out so I had to stop. This is as close as I get to turn farming. I did 5 runs so now Sundance is skiied out but Titusville Express might hold a run or two? I didn't try it because the top looked so rough but lower down it looked good. Super good weather, super day, the kind I live for, hot pow and sun!
