Those MRG glades look awesome Chris, will have to get there some time.

I did Sugarloaf last weekend, conditions were great, we skied the chit out of it and had some great times at the Carrabassett Inn

Well another 7 to 12 inchs since yesterday,upper mtn. was on wind hold.looks like i will have to find out where the snow blew into.

Nice fish. You guys are having a good year. The wife and I just arrived in Lake Tahoe last night. Gonna snowboard the next couple days with some of our friends that moved out this way. My wife's first big mountain experience and my first time back out west since I lived I telluride back in 2000

If anyone heads up to Stowe, Sugarbush, or Mad River... stop in at the Alchemist in Waterbury to sample a draft Heady Topper and take a few 4 packs home

Finally freed up a weekend to head to Sunday River, heading up there this coming Friday with my son for two days. They have had a bunch of snow, so it should be some good skiing. With the golf courses (played Saturday) opening up, this will be my last ski outting of the season.

l.i.fish.in.vt · 03-04-2013, 01:19 PM

i am hoping that my last turns will be May5th,that is the closing date for Sugarbush if the weather coperates. that should give me a few days to pack up and head to the cape.

Higgie · 03-04-2013, 07:28 PM

Rode my rose on Saturday in 50 degree weather and yesterday made it to alpine meadows for a sick powder day. Best terrain I've ever seen. Snowed all day and was so socked in at the summit that was hard to see. Never before have I had vertigo like that before couldn't see 5 feet in front of you but the day was sick!!

Mass. teen missing for 2 days found alive in Maine | WWLP.com

Story in the paper here today about the local snowmobiler who found the kid. Wasn't part of the official search party, he was familiar with the area and went up there on his own. Found the kid in 90 minutes.

Seems strange to me that the kid couldn't find his way out the next day after getting lost. Sounds like he built a snow cave and didn't really move around much.

l.i.fish.in.vt · 03-19-2013, 07:41 PM

another foot or so today,upper mtn on windhold. another 4 to 5 tonight according to the weather report.looking better for may 5th closing.

bassballer · 03-19-2013, 07:45 PM

Just got back from Vail / Beaver Creek. Absolutley sick. The Vail backbowls were insane. 12' overnight and wide open bowls. Steep and Deep!!!!

Sea Dangles · 03-19-2013, 10:03 PM

l.i.fish.in.vt · 03-20-2013, 06:36 AM

I can't get back up there fast enough! Work really cramps my style. You are killing me with the castlerock talk! Cotillion and Rumble have been my two favorite named runs of the season up there. I love that area. Up to NH this weekend for a family ski fest and then to the Hyde for an April Sugarbush trip. My favorite ski weatherman tweeted this yesterday.

Long range models say "What's spring?"

Think the skiing is going to be sweet for a bit longer and those crowds are only going to get smaller.

l.i.fish.in.vt · 03-21-2013, 11:44 AM

Tuff Guy,looks like an inch or so called for,but last week an inch or so turned into 15 inchs thursday/friday.Mike,this spring might make up for last year. winter like weather for the next week,a good solid base on the snow making trails,Sugarbush just might make it till May 5th

bassballer · 03-21-2013, 03:12 PM

LIFVT you have to go to vail while your out there. destroys every mountain in that area. There were guys at Vail that lived in Breckenridge. The back bowls are quite an experience for the east coast rider.

l.i.fish.in.vt · 03-23-2013, 06:21 AM

another 6 inchs this morning,a good way to end my coaching duties for the season

VTRI · 03-28-2013, 12:25 PM

The sap is flowing like water! I'll be by for a syrup/plug swap when you get back.
Rip it up at Copper!!

l.i.fish.in.vt · 04-04-2013, 08:29 AM

Greg,i am back,will give you a call. my mouth is watering for some fresh maple syrup.skiing was great getting some time with JP even greater.looks like some great skiing still left at the Bush.another month of skiing and i will be ready to fish.

Slipknot · 04-04-2013, 08:52 AM

Nice scenery John

glad you got to spend some time with JP

l.i.fish.in.vt · 04-04-2013, 09:15 AM

Bruce, if it weren't for the ocean,i'd move out there in a heartbeat,but i need the salt as much as i need the snow.hopefully we can share a few tides this season,miss fishing with you.

Sea Dangles · 04-04-2013, 10:53 AM

Will JP spend the summer out there John?

l.i.fish.in.vt · 04-04-2013, 12:31 PM

Chris, JP plans on staying for the summer.He was out there last summer.

l.i.fish.in.vt · 04-15-2013, 07:50 AM

well another great weekend of mid winter skiing.a few inches
saturday and snow Sunday,about 6 new total up top.it is tough thinking about fishing when skiing is still good.waiting for some real spring skiing,at this rate the mtn. will close before it happens
