It was pretty tasty in spots
Moderate to heavy snow, 31*, some wind. Basically, a honkin’ snowstorm at 3:30
April 9 or January 9? Well what ever the calendar reads it’s snowing. Heavy. Today was definitely a legitimate powder day.
In all honesty, I had a heavy work load today and didn’t expect to ski. By 3:00 it was piling up high and I knew that I had to make a break for it. I would say 8″ at Superstar base and 10″ at the top of Skye Peak. The snow changed below tower 4 as it was wetter and denser; like Sierra Cement or Killington April Chowder.
Since the snow was dense, it compacted easily. Any line fresh was good. Anything that was skied has the moisture squeezed out of it and left a huge divot. It was best to avoid anything skied. No matter as there was tons of fresh avail. It’s still snowing as I look out the window now at 6pm and it’s supposed to snow all night too! Tomorrow’s going to be a good day. Ski off Superstar first, than get some fresh on hikes to K Peak!
Yes indeed!
High Road. Looked a bit different today than yesterday.
Lower Skye Hawk. This was bare ground yesterday.
This is right smack dab in the middle of Upper Skyelark at 4:15pm
Looking down at Superstar
Pow turns abound on Lower SS. Right below this it turned heavy
Jonathan Celauro started skiing when he was four and still hasn't quite figured it out yet. After college, he moved to Killington and now 16 yrs later, each comprised of 100+ day ski seasons, he's still trying to grasp the whole skiing concept. At this point he imagines his best option is to just go with the flow. "I still find myself dreaming of big mountain lines and deep powder snow." J.C. Shop Our Online Store
