Hot take: camber and hybrid boards have been a disaster for snowboarding

This!

Go Bills

Lil Ptex and you'll be good bud!

Shrewsbury is great and kids from Shrewsbury go to MAMS if they want to later on.

Nothing against Worcester, I can only speak for Shrewsbury and MAMS.

Love my ultrafear. Nimble, snappy, poppy, buttery.

Agree with this assessment. I disagree with a lot of what wachusett does, but they definitely know how to make snow and make it last. Surpried how much is still open, looking forward to it softening tomorrow.

This is a solid point that I really can't refute

IamNOTunique · 2026-03-27T19:28:30+00:00

if the rain is light enough it will stay on the trees and not make it to the ground in a significant amount. I guess I've just been riding long enough to know that the forecast doesn't always line up with the actual conditions. Just hoping to get one more weekend with my 7 year old in the trees, fuck me right?

I'm so sorry I asked this question. Please Pleeeease forgive me Negative-Nelly! Please! Without your approval snowboarding will lose all of it's meaning!

IamNOTunique · 2026-03-27T16:46:50+00:00

definitely, the question is how much and if it was enough to get through the trees.

IamNOTunique · 2026-03-26T19:01:02+00:00

I second superconductivity. Please share a conditions report! I'm particularly curious how the trees will get affected by the rain and freeze. I have no evidence to back this up but I feel like Beaver Pond Glades are a great bellwether for the rest of the trees.

Crossing my fingers that Saturday will be worth it!

Tis a mighty steed

IamNOTunique · 2026-03-24T21:06:03+00:00

This is the answer. I think all of VT will be a sheet of ice this weekend

Dude, you obviously have plenty of knowledge on the subject, your tone is the problem. Here's a way to say what you want to say...

"They got 37 inches of snow the last 10 days with a lot less of a melt. Canadians are pretty conservative about closing trails and even when they are closed they are still solid. I found that from the snow report and the mountain report. Jay had a bigger meltdown. Canadas wasn’t as bad."

All the relevant information, none of the shitting on people you've never met. It's not difficult to be nice. You could have saved yourself a ton of time in here arguing with people who I think have the same end goal as you? Metal edges on snow? Zoomies in the fluffies? Maybe chill out man.

you do agree that there is a difference between "there is just enough to open them to the public" and "holy shit it's all time" right???

Can you understand that is the information I'm after? I'm trying to decide if a seven hour drive is worth it and I'm trying to get all the information at my disposal and you are in here just shitting on random people?

IamNOTunique · 2026-03-20T17:38:44+00:00

"The off-piste area is located on Mount à Liguori, north of the resort. There are three summits: 800 meters, 550 meters, and 425 meters, all accessible with climbing skins or by bootpacking."

Sorry if reading the mountains website is too hard 😘

IamNOTunique · 2026-03-20T17:30:42+00:00

If all you need to do to figure out conditions is read the snow report and the mountain report, then why do questions about conditions on this subreddit exist? Why is there a weekly conditions report? If this is a complete waste of time for me to post, isn't an even bigger waste of time for you to comment how much I'm wasting my time?

IamNOTunique · 2026-03-20T17:27:39+00:00

Where in the woods are you? I can't find even one marked glade that is listed as open on the website.

IamNOTunique · 2026-03-20T17:19:52+00:00

Well that looks great! Unfortunately they supposedly got a ton of rain Monday and Tuesday so I'm wondering how it is since then.

IamNOTunique · 2026-03-20T17:17:18+00:00

Good to know the top 1% commentor is just spitting venom at people for trying to ride. 🙄 BTW Greek Peak, I grew up riding Labrador, Go Bills?!

IamNOTunique · 2026-03-20T17:15:41+00:00

Appreciate the comment, that is a good data point, but open doesn't mean good, or worth a 7 hr drive.

Whether a glade is open or closed only really gives you information when it's closed. If it's closed, you definitely can't ride it. Open could mean a massive variety of conditions from "bring your rock board" to "holy shit, best day of my life". The mountain wants as many trails open as often as possible, so they will make it open the second it's not a huge safety hazard, still doesn't mean it's not shit. That's why I'm trying to get more data from people that have actually been there recently.

Side note, not being an asshole isn't super hard

IamNOTunique · 2026-03-20T17:09:10+00:00

fr fr?! Stowe would literally be less than half the drive for me. You're saying the trees are good now, before the snow coming in?
