My guess is as good as yours. Their snow report states that they got 5". I still have two tickets left on my Triple Play. I figure this is going to be as good as it gets (well it may be great in March, but I'll be away for half the time).
I'm guessing we'll have to wait until later tonight to figure out how the conditions really are. According to this thread, it was crazy icy yesterday. Let's hope someone divulges the true conditions after the 'snow storm'.

I was there this on Friday and Saturday and I can confirm that it was super icey. I spoke to a guy that was there last Wednesday, right before it rained on Thursday, and he said it was all powder. But then the rain hit and turned it into pure ice. Of course after riding on Friday, I don't know why I decided to go back on Saturday, especially with the crowds going for the Burton Demo Tour. Conditions were a lot better on saturday, a lot of the ice was chopped up and there was a soft layer of powder over the ice. The Granite Peak trails were probably the most icy, then followed by Bear Peak. I would have to say South Peak had the best runs with the smallest crowds, followed by Vernon Peak. I stil gotta use that season pass since I've only been there 6 times this season and have been seeking better conditions further up north. This season will most likely be the last time I shall ever go to Mtn Creek, due to the theft and park rats taking over the mtn.

Nice, I've sort of lost touch with the SJU brothers, the only one I ever really talked to was Adobe (not sure of his real name). As for Binghamton, they were one of my favorite chapters when I was active. Visited them many times during my three active years.
Are you going to hit up MC tomorrow? I haven't asked my boss yet to take off but he's usually chill about it. It's all rain now in NYC, hoping it's snow or at least not raining up in Vernon.

How you getting there?
Just got home from work, I was originally going to borrow my parents car but it all depended on how I felt in the morning.
Mind picking me up on the way =T. I can hike it somewhere so that it's on your route to MC. I'll get yo' gas.

Doh, I responded to your PM but I lost it since your Inbox was full. It's all good, I would have driven but I didn't want to bother my parents this early since they got back from Philly late last night. Figure I have a lot of work to catch up on anyway since I took off last Friday.
I'll be in Killington from the 3rd - 11th. If you are going to be up there at all let me know.

Damn you got back early! You don't enjoy the night riding? That's my favorite part about MC. Anyway, I should have gone today... I sat at my desk watching the markets crumble. What an awful day.

LPhiE baby. Ice, Alpha Alpha chapter, Theta class, Fall 2000.
Nu-Nu and I hit up the Creek yesterday and it was so empty. It was also snowing quite heavy for a short period of time as we got to the mountain. We just messed around doing 180's, tail presses, and butters. My body is so sore today.
