A Thursday morning, on May 12, with a foot and a half of new powder, and heavy clouds keeping the evril intense spring sun at bay thus maintaining - at least for several runs - fairly light 10%-ish snow. Explain again what's not to love? Sure, not February's 4% blower, but in mid-May, no one was complaining about the quality of the knee-deep powder. (Although dropping the 4' cornice entry into Jaws (which constitutes big air for me) and landing on a chunk of unseen frozen avi debris the size and shape of a beach-ball was a bit disconcerting; fortunately hung on and managed to avoid exploding on contact - falling anywhere in Jaws is usually not such a hot idea.) Yeah, living here does not suck. -marc - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SkiVt-L is brought to you by the University of Vermont.
