Well Said
Just Announced:
As of Sunday April 1st, lift serve skiing will be over at Stowe Mountain Resort!
Can’t say this is surprising news given the fact that March 2012 is on course to be the warmest on record and the thermometer has been pushing 80 for the past couple of days.
Official word from SMR:
Based on current mountain conditions and extended weather forecast, Stowe’s revised operation schedule is as follows:
The Last Scheduled Day of Skiing for the Season is Sunday, April 1 (weather permitting).
Any Extension of the Season (Beyond 4/1) will be Made No Later Than Thursday 3/29.
Gondola closes on Saturday. Here’s what Gondolier looked like this morning:

Perry Merrill looking more like a connect the dots game than a ski run:
DOT..TO DOT..TO DOT...
The Forerunner Quad will be the last lift left turning come Monday morning.
Snow from HEAVEN trails are done…
See ya next year STARR AND LOOKOUT!
The snow from Hoses trails still have some life left in them.
Noesdive Up High
Will the mountain hold up for another week? Probably, but its likely some grass / mud skiing may be involved to get over some of the water bars and areas down low that are all dried up. North Slope to the bottom will likely be the last top to bottom trail standing, especially if snow from the park is moved around to fill in the low spots.
All things considered, this winter will likely go down in the bottom tier on the fun meter. A month ago, we were oh so close…But high pressure came our way and quickly torched what was here. Oh well, what are you going to do? Skiing is skiing and you take what you can get!
Hats off to Stowe Mountain Resort Operations for working hard under difficult circumstances to get us on the hill and making turns!!
LET'S RIP THE ALPINE SLIDE!!
wish i never left the rockies
O.m.g. What a fucking waste of life. Lmfao. Your all pretty hardcore skiers eh? Ahhahahahaha. Lol. Hahahah. Omg. Im crying im laughing so hard at all yoi pretend bitch ass wannabees. Stowe is not real skiing. Its either ice skating down shit frozen ice, or dodging mud and joeys while it rains in january. Hahaha. Sittin fat with a 310″ base here 125″ this week alone. You can get out….
I’ll tell you what’s sad Mr HaytinHater…
It’s sad that you’ll never know what real skiing is, you just won’t ever really know. You’ll go your whole life making many turns, but why? Why do that? Spend so much time surrounded by something, immersing yourself in something that you’ll truly never grasp… now, that is sad.
What are you saying? Oh you can’t ski on race conditions, powder is way overrated, it’s for slow people.
yeah but at the same time what’s more fun than ripping a fat pow line?
Nothing.
Tisk tisk on you Mr. HaytinHater!
Let me guess – you are probably short, drive an oversized truck, and have a little dick.
Holy shit. That is truly sad. I grewup in underhill and used to think I knew what it was to ski. Looking back, what a waste of 20 years of my life
It looked like that in Tahoe for a long time. I hope next year goes off. Good luck to all those tryin to soak it up before it drys.
Sorry guys, my bad, I just realized there was a huge dick in my bum. It turns out I love men, and have never skied a day in my life.
I just love wasting my time, and that of others, hating on message boards trying to get attention.
