Skiing after a rain event

[VTKilarney]

I'm debating skiing tomorrow afternoon - as long as the rain has stopped by then. Can anyone let me know what to expect as far as conditions are concerned?

I expect the lifts to be running with skiing to be had.

Really depends on the temps. Down low will probably be mushy. Up above could be scratchy or icy. Depends where the rain/snow line was. What I've heard is that it's been wet snow coming down. I usually start skiing a little later in the day so things soften up a bit. Also, whatever you do, wax your skis with something, anything or the wet with just suck you to a stop.

If the temps stay below freezing all day, then it will be less than a spring skiing day, a bit scratchy. I expect that will be the case in the woods until the temps can stay above freezing for a while.

I went ahead and skied today. It was not as bad as I thought it would be. The middle of the mountain was crud, but the top and lower part were pretty good.

You mean the lifts were running with skiing to be had?

Shocking !!!

What's gotten into you lately? You're not as funny as you think. You're coming across quite the opposite.

There does seem to be a trend of steamboat being a tool in every single thread just to be a tool
