49er still has some good coverage, everything else seemed patchy, or totally gone.

But, Pico is private property, and I believe hiking it is a no-no! Just so you know, if someone tells you that you cant...

Yep, hiking is a HUGE "no-no" at Pico.
As is K.

Dont you roll your eyes at me young lady!

I am just letting them know, so if they are out there hiking, and someone tells them to get the heck away from the mountain, they will know why,
against policy, due to a number of reasons...

If anyone gets caught, will their seaon passon get taken away? And not to be a b*%ch, but I'm just curous, what are those "number of reasons...?"

And you called me a "young lady," thank you.

Theres no open terrain at Killington or Pico. No hiking is allowed at either resort.

People have been skiing Outer Limits however...

Mount Snow, Sugarbush, Jay Peak, Sunday River, Sugarloaf, and a few others are still open, for tomorrow at least... Over an inch and a half of r*in coming Monday/Tuesday in this neck of the woods...

r*in coming in tonight lasting into the morning as well.... Then a freeze up next week for the remaining snow, and the couple of places still open...

A b*%ch? A sweet young lady such as yourself? I think not!

There is heavy equipment being operated throughout the mountains. That’s been heavily reported, constant groomer activity, tractors, a crane, and other heavy equipment being used resorts wide. Then you have your snowmobiles and other mtn op movements throughout the mountains.

There’s a lot of work underway, and having folk up in the mountains is not something that needs to be dealt with by the hardworking people up there undertaking the infinite tasks, preparing the resort for the 08/09 ski season, for your enjoyment!

Campgaw here in NJ is still opened too and hiking is permitted.

K can have my season pass, since I'm not using it anymore

In fact I think I'll actually carry it with me the next time I'm hiking Killington, and hand it to the person that stops me

And all of those things are just so inconspicuous, it's incredibly likely you'd run right into them if you aren't paying attention...

Funny, most workers are (or have been in the past) friendly, and like seeing people out enjoying themselves. And I've never seen anyone dumb enough to do something that would cause them any problem.
