Met up with Nhski and from_the_NEK for a mid-week assault on Jay Peak as yet another major April snow storm slammed into New England with more on the way. I am quickly getting used to this and hope I will not suffer too much withdrawal when Spring finally returns with a vengeance to wash all this wonderful whiteness away.
Jay Peak's web page is reporting 10" 24 hours and 20" 48 hours which does not match up to what we skied today. It was excellent but it wasn't 20" even in the untracked that was not hit yesterday. I would say closer to 16-18" total for the two day storm, not shabby for April regardless of how you measure it.
But that 20" was over the course of two days, so on lines that had been tracked yesterday, we only found 10" untracked in the A.M. Despite light crowds, I felt that it went quick as any one out there knew where to find the goods. I would not expect much untracked for Saturday but the snow is really good. Warm weather was getting the best of snow near the bottom of the mountain with some exceptionally wet and heavy snow down low. Things were still powdery on the upper sections of the mountain, but even after 20", Spring and April are letting their presence be known.

Oh My Goodness was it nice in the spots that were untracked from both two days. We went steep and deep on a few shots with Nhski taking the money shot of a picture while I descended into white powdery bliss. from_the_NEK got in on the action and he's the skier disappearing into the powder in the video. Some days I think they should rent snorkels at the rental shop.
Definitely an awesome day but no where near what I had expected. Conditions wise, today was not as good as any day last weekend Fri-Sun and probably Mon as well. But it was an awesome day skiing with two fantastic guys I love sharing turns and adventure with. Completely undecided what to do tomorrow with Jay tracked up and Backcountry begging for some turns. C'mon cold air for the Sunday through Monday event!

Here is a teaser from the Photo Gallery of Nhski's wonderfully timed money shot of me going deep. Now I know where JayPeakResort.com gets there best shots, lol.
