met up with NHPH and sledhaulingmedic at jay peak today. great day of skiing guys, thanks for the company and it was great skiing with both of you. and great to finally met you NHPH! as i mentioned to NHPH in the bar post skiing, it is always great hooking up with a few other excellent skiers and doing a mountain proper, much more fun than skiing alone.
temps were very warm at jay peak today! so much so, after three runs, we all returned to the lodge to dump some layers. i wasn't thinking it was spring skiing yet when attaching my ticket to my jacket this morning :roll: so had to request a replacement ticket at the window for my ski pants and clipped my ticket on the jacket. of course, i didn't realize this until we were getting in line for the tram! doh.
:lol:
any ways, the snow wasn't your typical spring corn nor was the temp warm enough to make things slushy yet, but it was nice. it is gonna go quick though. it was good quality wet snow.
skiing was excellent. most of the woods still had decent cover and a lot of off the map shots skied great as well. coverage definitely starting to get thin in places, but tons of choice lines. i was really having a ball in timbuktu and beaver pond glades were dreamy, too bad we only did one shot through BPG. definitely was liking the jet best due to its sustained pitch and great options. ripping turns under the jet, sweet nearly nero bumps on UN, kitzbeuhel bumps kicked like a mule but were fun, and the trees were holding up well over there.
decent coverage everywhere except down low especially near the lodges. good conditions will likely stay throughout the week at jay, but this is the last horrah folks. jay may be open until next weekend, but the good stuff will be gone by then without more snow and with current temps.
comparing the no bull to jay's report: they are reporting primary as packed pow but primary is definitely wet snow right now. nothing wrong with wet snow, it is great! but there is nothing packed powder about it.
hard to believe it is almost over. i feel like i was just starting to get warmed up. guess that is what happens when you are out injured for three months!!! :lol: thanks again guys for the great company and fun skiing, looking forward to doing it again sometime.
