To quote sugarbushs' snow report for today

Don't trade your skis for golf clubs just yet - the powder days are far from over! We picked up a foot of snow since the switch-over from wintry mix yesterday, 8 inches of which fell overnight. Wax your equipment and run to the hills for another day of slashing April stashes. Today, winter is full throttle.

Stowe report: today was amazing. A foot plus fell overnight. Parking lots were reasonably full, but virtually everyone was over at Spruce for the Sugar Slalom. The quad was "ski on" all day.

Met up with Josh and his crew. Headed out to Angel Food which was deep. I was under-gunned on Wailer 99's.

Run of the day was all of them. Goat is so deeply buried that there are hardly even bumps on it now. The very large rocks in the lower section are covered; I don't ever recall that happening before.

Quote of the day was from @Josh Matta in Tres Amigos: "uhhh, Kevin, you're the only person I know who's gotten more aggressive since breaking an arm". I try...

Sorry I missed you guys; there are no friends on a powder day.

Weather.com prediction of 9-13 inches of snow turned into 8-13 inches by days end. I am glad no one believed weather.com though........

Great snow, super dense(fluffy snow is beater snow), basically bottomless on the right aspects and when you hit the ice it sounded worse than it skied. Skied from 7:30 to 2:30 with basically untracked lines every run at some point in time.

here is a quick edit from today's Iphone videos. Wish I had some video of Kevin in Tres Amigos glade where he was crushing it.


I am fearful of tomorrow hot air on fresh un cycled snow. It will be glue as soon it gets hot.

Sure there are... you must be skiing with the wrong folks
(I hate that expression)

Kevin in Tres Amigos glade where he was crushing it

I get a kick out of the fact that Kevin skis trees now!
Wish I could have been there.

Meeting for breakfast at McCarthy's at 7ish... not sure when we'll get on snow. Probably not before 8:30
