I believe you mean Mud Season in New England?Welcome to Spring time.
Wildcat buys those things by the gross. They are the master of opening trails that have no business being open.
They have "Open Water" signs used frequently too.
Shouldn't it be "wicked thin covaa"?

Saddleback specializes in spruce and fir twigs sticking up into the trail as the snow melts. A LOT of them. And sometimes they're more like sapling trunks. Wood, not needles. I've occasionally noticed that balsam smell on my skis. Really.The amount of snow a trail requires to be "open" definitely varies significantly from area to area.
I'm not very familiar with Wildcat, but I do recall encountering some "open" trails there that required some billy goating. I think Sugarbush would claim "100% open" after a heavy frost. Mad River Glen certainly has some dubiously open trails, but that's part of the MRG experience.
Stowe on the other hand has a pretty conservative policy of what constitutes "open", doubly so after the Vail acquisition.
I dono guys, it just snowed 18" and is currently -5 where I am. What is this "spring" you speak of?
a more acceptable form of stalking!corny
People in VT use the term "Mud Season" without malice. They aren't being sarcastic or ironic -- that is just what it is called!I believe you mean Mud Season in New England?
