I'd be amazed if there weren't. It's going to be 50 deg in Rutland and was
yesterday. We need a 2 weeks cold stretch before the bare spots will
disappear.

thanks for the reply. I tend to agree and I did not go. Sunday river looks
promisiing however, and they just opened Locke Mtn , total of 14 trails
open.

I was in Killington on 11/15, snow conditions were actually pretty
good, Granted, it's warmed up since, but now temps are supposed to go
down and they are actually planning on making snow tonight.

Watch yourself, I know it's extremely rare. But I remember last season
skiing powder in VT and you guys were crying for snow. Don't jinx
yourself now.

Hey, new name for Easterners: "Iceterners"

Astro, try taking a few snaps with white balance set at Cloudy-3 and
compare to auto and see what you think.

That's what it looks like, but actually it's more north of Glory
Hole...like if you were to ski down into Glory, it would be the area
to your left. I think.

Should I do that in the sun, the shade, or both?

Try it in all conditions. I haven't tried it in powder (grumble grumble)
but I like it elsewhere. I'll try and see if I can find the link to the tip
that got me onto this.
