Michael and I arrived in VT in the late morning of Saturday, unloaded a bit of stuff into the condo and promptly started sleeping. Ideal case was that we would have been arriving sometime around 3AM and have had five or so hours to sleep. As it turns out, due to weather we didn’t leave until later, we didn’t make quite as good of time as would otherwise have been possible and we didn’t sleep as much on the road. This means we didn’t ski Saturday.

Saturday and Sunday saw over a foot of snow, so Sunday had awesome snow. The temperature was about 15F with winds at about 10mph at the base, meaning windchill down to 1F. So, yeah, freezing, but nice. Most of the day was spent on the gondolas, staying out of the wind for the ride up. Most of my day was spent on skis, but I did take a single board run at the end of the day when I was skied out and just waiting for the others to come in.
Today was supposed to be colder and windier, so we decided to make our break day today rather than Tuesday. That was the right choice. 18mph winds at the base would have been ridiculous at the top.
Tomorrow’s weather is for partly cloudy, minimal wind. Wednesday is for a high of 36 and some mixed precipitation. Both days should kick ass.
