Today was a classic spring ski day at Sugarbush. There was lots of sun, it was hot, the snow was soft, and the bumps were growing by the minute on Stein’s.
Well folks, the time has finally come. Whiteface is calling it a season after this weekend, and today was my last day skiing there.
Yeah, the base is slowly melting away, and there were some bare spots in the trees, but the skiing was pretty dang good for April 12!
There was sunshine, it was warm (but not terribly warm), the pond skim happened and, just in general, there was a fun atmosphere around the mountain.
After a cold start to the week, and even a powder day on Tuesday, spring returned to Whiteface today.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen much in the way of snow, so this was an extra sweet treat.
For the first time this season, I finally had to ski something I’ve avoided all winter.
Had it not been a little windy, I think I could’ve got away with wearing shorts.
Jay Peak may be the most wind-prone ski area in the East, and today it flexed that muscle.
