Conditions

We've officially turned the corner into the Spring ski season. The weather has been all over the place as you can see from our Ski Watch Reporters' postings. We suggest you pack everything and layer up for the changing conditions. That includes facemasks, too. Keep your skis tuned for firmer cover, and bring a change of socks for the drive home if you hit rain and wet conditions on the slopes.


The word from our Ski Watch Reporters:

Wednesday, March 26 - Mount Snow
Afternoon Report
Beaten by Mother Nature today. Too windy and squally to enjoy my favorite steeps. Steady summit snow until noon, squally snow showers after that. Upper mountain picked up 2 to 3 inches of fresh. Stayed on main base intermediate cruisers that gave a good ride all day. Good late season days ahead. -Reporter P.J.

Wednesday, March 26 - Cannon
Afternoon Report
58 of 62 trails open. Wind-scoured new snow from mid-mountain up, with some drifting on the leeward sides of the trails. Some ice patches popped up in areas where wind blew snow down to base. Good coverage on most trails, just an occasional icy patch. 2 for 1 lift tickets every day. -Reporter M.D.

Wednesday, March 26 - Okemo
Afternoon Report
Great spring skiing day. Conditions soft-packed and loose powder on soft bases, very easy to carve and ski.  In the afternoon, lower trails on Jackson Gore and Solitude got real soft, but no mashed potatoes. Get out early for the best conditions. Okemo is still almost 100 percent skiable. -Reporter B.C.

Wednesday, March 26 - Mount Snow
It's like two different worlds here. The bottom of the mountain has mild temps and from the summit on up, it's a blizzard. The top of the mountain is fogged in with 25-degree temps and gusty winds. The new snow is soft and quiet.  -Reporter P.J.

Wednesday, March 26 - Cannon
It's overcast with some on and off flurries. The upper part of the mountain is in the clouds. Once you drop below that the visibility is fine. You're protected from the wind over by Zoomer, etc. but on the main mountain and upper mountain terrain, the winds are gusting to about 40 m.p.h. It's something to contend with. Good skiable terrain, but would be better without the wind. -Reporter M.D.

Wednesday, March 26 - Okemo
Nice, spring ski conditions here today from top-to-bottom. It's groomed, soft and wet packed powder on bases of soft freezer frost. It's very easy to ski. Nice easy cruising. Even the upper mountain did not freeze overnight, so it's very soft. More than enough base snow here. They could probably stay open until May if they wanted.
-Reporter B.C.
