Middlebury Snowbowl
Refrozen Hardpack
Xwhaler, our friend Nate and I skied Middlebury for the first time Saturday. Skiing was not ideal as everything was just refrozen hardpack. The only trail that was really groomed was Allen, which skied very well. Everything else we skied was very challenging coral reef. Eventually we decided our best course of action was to ski in the woods. Woods were very hard but did provide a slightly better surface than the trails. They did seem to have a ton of coverage still.1426559965013.jpg Xwhaler action shot.
I wish we could have hit Middlebury on a better day. The place has some great skiing. Classic cut trails with lots of character. On map glades were very impressive, steep in places, lots of features, very challenging, all hardwoods. They claim 500 acres of tree skiing and I bet that is legit. The mountain seems huge from the lift and skis way bigger then 1000 vertical. I hope I can hit it again with better snow conditions next year.
