UPDATE!

I know all of you are asking the same question right now: Is winter over? While it sure is going to seem that way over the next few days, I think the answer is no.

WEATHER
UPDATE!

That’s right: an above the fold update
Looking at the latest data, there appears to be the potential for not rain across the higher terrain of the Catskills, southern Adirondacks and southern VT. It’s going to be close and the scales of Ullr are teetering right now but it’s certainly worth talking about!

When spring weather hits New England, skiers get excited. The warm sunny days and gentle winds whisper to us, telling us to head to the hills.

WARNING!

This blog just got exceptionally radder. The FIS may have bagged a FD (first descent) today. Well, in reality probably not… but for a few minutes until we hear from the old dudes saying as usual “if it can be seen it has been skied” we’ll continue to be optimistic. Unfortunately though, if the line in fact hasn’t been skied, it’s not really because of gnar factor but because of silly factor. Nevertheless it photographed well; here’s Ben following in the photographer’s ski tracks (bwa-haha!)–although with decidedly better style.

Full TR forthcoming…
