Superb skiing at Okemo on March 30

We had a late March snow squall and, in exchange for the driveway being impassable, got some great late season skiing at Okemo on the last weekend of the month. J. and I got accidentally separated but we still got in a good amount of vertical. I don't think I've ever skied more vertical feet in a shorter period of a time - I hit the Northstar lift 7 times in about an hour and half. This meant skiing fast, no stopping at all, and going quickly through the singles line. It was almost like skiing in the Rockies - fresh soft new snow, bright clear blue skies, and warm temperatures in the 30's. And because of the late season, no crowds at all. There was a big difference in the feel of the snow underfoot between the southern oriented runs and northern/shady runs. I stayed on the right sides of the trails which tended to be drier.

It was great skiing, perhaps the last of the season for us. Much different than a few years ago.
