#-owind gust blows the pack over, so it rolls down the rest of the chute
Good thing the patroller didn't collar you before dropping in... all that stuff would've been sacrificed to the mountain (or the next person who skied through).

In big storms in Northern Vermont, where are best odds for no lift closures on key terrain? Stowe or MRG being on the leeward side of the Green Mountain spine? Or maybe if the storm is huge, off the spine completely at someplace like Burke or Bolton?

This is a good point! I did find some awesome snow on the other side over the weekend when the Tram and Flyer were down. On Sunday it was just so brutal getting there, the wind in your face and all the snow blown off of the upper trails. It was sketchy getting there, but once there, no one else around and deep untracked snow. Just 2 lift rides to get back. (right Patrick?)
