Burke 3/29/11

[Zand]

Date(s) Skied: Tuesday 3/29/11

Resort or Ski Area: Burke, VT

Conditions: PP, 1" new where it was untracked

Trip Report:

Got up there around 12:15 and hit the usual suspects. Jungle and Birches were getting a bit thin but the snow was pretty good. Dougs and Warrens woods were still in great shape. Dixiland was pretty good. Groomers were alright... a bit slick thanks to some wind. One day left at Burke for the year tomorrow... can't believe it. Supposed to be sunny and 45 tomorrow so it'll be a great one. Home for some powder days at Wachusett this weekend.

I think Burke has a better chance of pow than Wachusett!

It seems so odd to me that they chose a mid week closure like that. Another season where I fail to get to Burke....

I think what Zand meant is that it is HIS last day there for the year.

Burke is open through Sunday (April 3rd). I'll be there, will you :razz:

 

[jrmagic]

oh ok that sounds more reasonable:dunce:


Still can;t make it this year. I'm working through Saturday so I don't see myself doing a day trip up there. I'm hoping I can at leat make it to Magic for what may be the last day...

Enjoy

Yeah... LSC spring break starts Friday so I have to head home in the thick of it. NOAA has northern Worcester Co getting 10-15" so we'll see what happens.

Oh to be back in college...:grin:

I'm kicking myself for not picking up skiing while I was in college.

LSC has a Feb freak and April break because too many people bitch about being "stuck" in the "awful" NE Vermont winter for too long. I hate it personally... I'd rather have a normal spring break in March and get out a week earlier in May, plus be up here for an extra week in the winter.

 

[from_the_NEK]

Well with the just announced extended season, you can come back and get some more next weekend!

 

[Zand]

Not gonna make it... I have to work all next weekend. Oh well, it's only an extra 40 mins to Jay haha.

ZAND....love your tr's because theres a lot of them. TAKE SOME PICS PLEASE!

I've tried to before multiple times, but everytime I go to post them I get a "fatal error" message so I gave up trying. I wish it would work for me because I'd definitely take some every time.

Do you upload to the pics to an online gallery first (e.g. your own Alpinezone gallery) and then post the link? Or do you try to attach the pic directly to the post? IMHO the first option works much better.

Does anyone else get a "Fatal error" when trying to upload multiple pictures to an Alpinezone gallery?
I do and I've been forced to upload one at a time which is kind of a pain.

I have trouble if I try to upload more than three or four pics at a time...

Pain in the butt to just do three or four at once, but I do it for you guys. ;-)
