Re: saturday 4/1 report

There’s about four people at Pico, self included. A fresh coating but slower and sticker than molasses. If no vert forget it, you’ll be hiking any flats. Otherwise warm and pleasant. Strange morning and one fit for 4/1.

Re: Thursday March 15

Summit Chair at Pico started about 9:20, nice corral formed for the start. Great to see how little was groomed on the opening runs. Couldn't have asked for a better day for glades. Had a bit of refresh in the afternoon as it just kept on snowing. I think I skied Upper Giant/Powerline > Poma Glades a...

Re: Wednesday, 2/7 Report

Wonderful day on the hill in relentless weather. As mentioned the woods are back up to snuff with only a few spots hitting bottom. Magic moment arrived around 3:15 in and around Fiddle and Devils Den. We're back to normal.

Re: GoPro jumps the shark.

not too long ago gp's were fun for the girl of the week/month but nest kinda runs that market now. Can't say I don't miss gp, when they know it's live they always perform better.

Re: Thursday, Jan 4th ......

Indeed Pico was sparse and a lot of fun with continuous snowfall, particularly in and around the Summit Glades. Didn't come across a single soul out there, perfect.

Re: Lift Issues, Middlebury Snow Bowl

Mere sensationalism choosing a long outdated theorist with a reputation which guarantees a knee-jerk reaction from the peanut gallery. It was a put-on plain and simple. Another straw man. Rant and rave as they may but human biodiversity is never going away.

Re: monday 2/13/17 report POW DAY!

Bear was definitely the sweet spot, love OL before it turns to garbage. Loaded the quad at 9 and hit up fiddle/devil's den and by the time I returned the lines were out the gates. Can't say much for the rest of the hill, tracked out and wind-blown although softer overall. On a powder scale we're loo...
