VT Day 1 4/8/09 Stratton

[Latitude39Videos]

So with the 7 Springs only having the park open on weekends, I decided to pack the truck up with boards and dogs and drive north. Monday it poured the rain the whole way up, and didn't stop until Tuesday mid-morning. I'm embarrassed to say, I didn't go out. Opting instead to head to Stratton first thing this morning. The conditions where good, felt more like Feb. than April as it was 30 degrees and hard pack. Everything was well groomed, except for the parks. This was kind of dissapointing. I think if your going to advertise the best park in the east, you should keep it in that shape if possible. Plus they only have a dozen or so top to bottom trails, so it would have been nice to have the park rideable in the afternoon. In all though, it was a good day. Can't beat 25 plus miles of skiing a days drive from home in April. Heading to Okemo tommorrow.

I think Loon has the best park in the east anyway. I need to make a trip that direction one of these days.

25 miles of skiing was just my guess. They had roughly a dozen top to bottom trails that seemed to be about two miles in length.
